Pak sports ministry pushes Presidency to look into PCB management | Concerned over the state of affairs in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), the Pakistan sports ministry has urged President Asif Ali Zardari, as its patron, to look into the issue and remove the board's shortcomings. "Yes, we have requested the President
to take time out to address the issues of the PCB, especially the appointments
of governing council members and approval of amended draft of constitution, which
is laying with the Presidency for the last many months," The Daily Times quoted
Sports Minister Pir Aftab Shah Jillani, as saying. Jillani pointed out that the
issue of appointment of governing council members and approval of the new constitution
was lingering for long, which is affecting the proper functioning of the board.
"The governing council is like cabinet of national cricket authority. It should
be complete and taken into confidence on every matter. We have told the President
to address this issue and many others for improvement of the game," he said. Jillani
also accused the PCB administration of by-passing the ministry on several important
issues, and said that it was the prime reason why the ministry is pressing the
Presidency to approve and implement the new constitution, which bounds the country's
apex cricket authority to consult the sports ministry on every important issue. |
