Former Pakistan skipper and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan outline three-point solution to reform Pakistani cricket.

PTI chief tweeted on Sunday that in order to establish a successful cricket team, the management needs to insulate from political pressure, institute six regional teams, and construct cricket grounds.

Imran alleged that the reason Pakistan cricket has, unlike elsewhere, failed to become an institution due to political meddling in the affairs of cricket.



“We have a PM who has perfected the art of cronyism & appointed an 'election fixer' to 'fix' Pakistan cricket,” said Imran.

parvaiz khan | 7 years ago | Reply Three points 1.The old men including chairman PCB,Intekhab alam and Haroon Rashid must out from all kind of cricket. 2.Any player who doesn't fulfil the responsibility should banned for 1 year and 50% of the central contract should refound. 3.The players and management's performance checked strictly for 6 month of period.
