Afridi’s feedback got here at a time when uncertainty surrounds the way forward for the current chairman Ramiz Raja with the change in authorities and prime minister. Speculations are rife that he would get replaced by an individual who’s the selection of recent PM Shahbaz Sharif.
In Pakistan cricket the PM is routinely appointed Patron in chiefs of the PCB and he/she nominates two candidates one in all whom is elected by the overall physique as chairman.
Afridi mentioned this apply must cease because it has by no means allowed any system to quiet down correctly.
He famous that each time a brand new chairman got here in he introduced in his personal system.
