Are Hafeez and Shoaib Akhtar going to be part of PCB’s new setup?

Zaka Ashraf, the newly appointed Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has generated controversy by rejecting the idea of including former cricketer Shoaib Akhtar in the PCB administration. This decision has sparked intrigue among cricket enthusiasts and experts, who are speculating about the underlying motives behind this move. Shoaib Akhtar, a prominent figure in Pakistani cricket, is known for his candid criticism of the PCB’s policies and management. His outspoken nature and bold opinions have often stirred controversy, attracting both supporters and critics.

Despite Akhtar’s popularity and cricket knowledge, some members of Zaka Ashraf’s team believed that involving him in the PCB administration could provide valuable insights into addressing internal issues and potentially limit his public criticism of the board’s policies.

However, Zaka Ashraf firmly rejected the idea of including Shoaib Akhtar in his administration. This strong opposition has raised questions about Ashraf’s governance approach and his willingness to embrace dissenting voices. As the cricket community eagerly awaits further developments, speculations abound regarding the reasoning behind Ashraf’s decision to exclude Shoaib Akhtar from the PCB administration.

It remains to be seen how Zaka Ashraf’s chosen administration will be formed and how they will navigate the challenges ahead while ensuring the continued growth and success of Pakistan cricket.
