The committee will comprise of interim chairperson Najam Sethi, former PCB chairman Shaheryar Khan, former test cricketer Zaheer Abbas, former test cricketer Haroon Rasheed and former Pakistan Team Manager Naveed Cheema.

@Adnan Siddiqi:
Imran says lets talk to terrorists, Sharif follows. Imran says he wants seperate meeting with Army chief, Sharif follows. Imran talks about youth, Sharif follows. Imran chooses bat, Sharif follows. Imran pays attention to Cricket, Sharif follows.
I pray Nora and Showbaz keep following him. :)
@Aziz:
Lolzzzz....on the contrary my little sheep herd follower, its IK who is running from pillar to post to become a "Poor Man's Shahbaz Sharif" here :D :-P
COPY SHAHBAZ BUT YOU CANNOT EVEN GROW AN INCH TO COME TO HIS LEVEL.
Its ALL because of Imran Khan (PTI). Recent match in Peshawar organized by PTI has made Nawaz Sharif crazy again. He will again follow the footsteps of Imran Khan.
COPY IMRAN BUT YOU CANNOT BE LIKE HIM.
@Jibran..........you said it all.
Hehehehehehehehehehe......I can sense something burning here and the stench is emanating from the trolls corner comprising of sheep herd followers and disciples of Deen-e-Imrani. PM has the executive authority here folks. May I ask by virtue of which authority the erstwhile Imranullah Mehsud Khan Niazi is announcing constructions of cricket stadiums in every district of KPK?
Nice going PTI--even the "Sharifs" are feeling compelled to display a bat!!!
Wasn't Sethi pro-Nawazardari column writer? How he got the sports management job?
Nice going PTI--even the "Sharifs" are feeling compelled to display a bat!
Najam Sethi must be one of the Sharif's long lost brothers - they seem to go out of their way to give him positions and power.
@Jibran: It is not fair. I do not have to like the prime minister but I do have to be honest and fair. Sir your comments are a result of mistrust of the high ups. Yes I share that.The PM should have been advised properly by somebody with a sense of propriety so, then he would not put himself in such a silly position no pun intended , I mean he can not run one run to save his life, get real, reduce the size of your bulk first. Pass a law to make the Board of Cricket a Statutoy Body, well away from the political interference with a Chairman elected by the constituent (genuine) bodies. Then give them a constitution like many available to do a given job with pertinent watchdog and an exit route in case of a failure to live up to the task provided by the constitution of the Statutory body. Is it too difficul? Then you can not do any good, whatever you do, you would not make any difference to the fortunes of the cricket of the country. Period.
Another typical Pakistani mess-up. The PCBwalas can write a doctoral thesis on how to cretae problems where non exist. Salams
So, to save one man's job, whole PCB gets dissolved. Mr. Nawaz Sharif is on the rampage to destroy Pakistan and that too very quickly.
ET why did not you published my comment..this is biased and unfair because I criticized PM holding to many posts and ministries like his brother and only give responsibilities to his relatives...where is your freedom of speech..publish my comment..
Prime minister Nawaz Sharif appointed Nawaz Sharif as the Chief of Pakistan Cricket. About time he should also announce himself as the captain of the team & stuff it with all the other sharifs and relatives.
Let's play cricket now.
Why non-cricketers are there in this committee, utter non-sense
Thanks God its not Musharraf taking that position under his belt otherwise people would say this is dictatorship
Ah, so that was the problem, a figurehead chief in the form of a President!
Now everything will be well, with a figurehead chief in the form the PM...
Addition to his empire.
ET, where is my comment?
By Whom ?
Will he ruin (run) the board aswell, the way he is doin to country
Is this 'usual Chamcha geeri' ? or Mr Sharif unusually power hungry?
Congratulations to the Prime Minister.
I hope that being Patron-in-Chief, he will be able to also look after the on going politics in PCB for a long time.
When the first meeting is going to be held of PCB?
What was that shot? Could not get it from expressions of keeper and PM :D
