All office holders including PTF President Senator Syed Dilawar Abbas have been removed.

Meanwhile, an ad-hoc tennis body has been formed for 90 days. The ad-hoc body will be headed by Pir Aftab Jilani.

Muneer Pirzada has been appointed as Secretary General and Hameedul Haq will be the treasurer.
