Reports have surfaced suggesting that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who is currently in line to become the next President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), has made a pivotal decision to delegate substantial authority over cricket affairs to former national team captain Waqar Younis.
According to sources, Waqar Younis is set to assume a crucial role within the PCB, where he will oversee all aspects of Pakistan men’s cricket. This extensive mandate is reported to include international and domestic cricket operations, as well as the selection committee. The decision to appoint Younis, a celebrated former cricketer and coach, is seen as a strategic move to leverage his extensive experience and understanding of the game to enhance the performance and governance of Pakistan cricket.
While Waqar Younis is expected to handle the cricketing side of the PCB’s operations, Mohsin Naqvi will reportedly focus on the board’s administrative affairs.
If confirmed, this could have a major impact in how the PCB manages its cricketing and administrative operations. The move to involve a former cricketer like Waqar Younis in a major governance role could also be seen as an effort to bring a more player-centric perspective to the board’s decision-making processes.
As of now, these reports remain unconfirmed, and there has been no official statement from the PCB regarding the potential restructuring or Waqar Younis’s appointment. The cricket community and fans are keenly awaiting further details, as such a change could have wide-ranging implications for the future of Pakistan cricket.
