As was widely expected, former ICC president Ehsan Mani has been elected unopposed as PCB chairman for a term of three years. He was the only candidate to submit his nomination papers for the vacant post, and all members of Board of Governors (BoG) unanimously voted for him to head the PCB. He replaces Najam Sethi, who resigned last month.
The special meeting of the board was headed by interim chairman and election commissioner Justice (retired) Afzal Haider. Mani assumes his executive powers as PCB chairman with immediate effect, and had a brief meeting with the BoG members after the election.
His election to the post of chairman was considered a mere formality after he was nominated for the position by Pakistan’s new prime minister and, thereby, patron of the PCB, Imran Khan.
