The post of chairman of the cricket committee has been vacant since September 6 when former chairman, Iqbal Qasim, resigned due to the differences in opinion over domestic cricket structure. Former cricketers, Zaheer Abbas, Intikhab Alam, Saleem Yousuf, and retired Col Naushad Ali have been rumored to be in negotiations with PCB over the role, but no appointment has been made yet.

According to reports, Saleem Yousuf has been regarded as the front-runner for the job at the moment and his appointment could be confirmed by next week.

Similarly, it has been over a month since the resignation of Misbah-ul-Haq as chief selector and no one has been chosen as his replacement. Rashid Latif, Shoaib Akhtar, Mohammad Akram, Mohammad Yousuf, and Mohammad Wasim are in the running, with reports suggesting Mohammad Wasim to be the next chief selector.

Apart from the crucial appointments, PCB also had to appoint interim bodies of all six provincial cricket associations. It has been 17 months since the new constitution has been implemented but there has been no urgency by the board to make these appointments.

PCB CEO, Wasim Khan, recently expressed his desire to continue working and extend his contract, with PCB working hard to retain his services. Questions have been raised in the cricketing fraternity regarding the urgency of his contract extension, which was set to expire in February 2021, while PCB has shown little to no urgency in other important decisions.

Wasim Khan said that the appointments of chief selector and chairman cricket committee will be finalized within the next few days and an official announcement will be made by next week.
