Pakistan’s Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal by the federal government challenging a lower court’s decision to reinstate the country’s embattled cricket chief.
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf was suspended eight months ago over alleged dubious elections.
The Nawaz Sharif government appointed an Interim Management Committee to oversee the PCB but Ashraf was reinstated by an appellate bench of the Islamabad High Court earlier this month.
In the latest twist of an ongoing legal drama, the Supreme Court has now allowed a challenge to that ruling by the federal government to go ahead with the hearing expected to start on Monday.
