Sub-committee formed to review PCB constitution

ISLAMABAD: The government has formed a five-member sub-committee to review and amend the Pakistan Cricket Board’s constitution.
An official of the Federal Law Ministry told Dawn on Monday that Federal Law Minister Farooq H. Naek would head the committee. The other members of the committee include Federal Sports Minister Pir Aftab Shah Jilani, Secretary Sports Ahraf Khan, PCB chairman Ijaz Butt and a regional cricket association president from Islamabad.
‘The sub-committee will propose its suggestions for the amendments in the board’s constitution and we will complete it as early as possible and send it to the Patron in Chief for approval,’ the official said.
The official, however, refrained from giving any time frame for the amendment in the PCB constitution.
The committee was formed by Farooq H. Naek after some sports circles pointed loopholes in the board’s constitution while the powers of the PCB chairman were also criticised.
