Widespread changes are expected in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) before the expiry of PCB chairman’s term on October 8.
As the D-day approaches reports of changes have put former National Bank president Ali Raza forward as the frontrunner to succeed the outgoing Chairman Ijaz Butt.
Although there has been no confirmation but reports attributed to the President House says that the resignation of Butt was accepted long ago and he is being given time to complete his term while the fresh notification is likely in a couple of days, maybe even before October 8.
An official of the Presidency said that final decision would only be taken when Butt’s term ended.
Another official stated that Ali Raza’s name was there for consideration but the final decision rested with the president.
The coming week is of great significance for Pakistan cricket because during that week not only the national team for the Sri Lanka series, but the new coach and the new chairman of the PCB would be announced.
Reports also suggested that PCB chairman would not be representing Pakistan at the International Cricket Council Executive Board meeting in October and even in the Asian Cricket Council Finance Committee meeting, PCB COO Subhan Ahmad will attend the meetings instead.

  1. Bander bant hay sab……………… they will never appoint a real professional … chor chor ka sathi hy

    • Ali Raza is considered the top professional and banker in the country. He was the most successful president of national bank of pakistan saving it from collapse and making it the most profitable organization in the country. He has also served on the PCB for several years and has an in depth knowledge of cricket, He has been one of the biggest supporters of all pakistan and has a great contribution in this field. He has received more international awards and recognition than any other pakitsani professional in the last ten years. he would be the best man for the job

  2. Syed Ali Raza was the longest serving President of the National Bank of Pakistan, a highly politicized and sensitive institution. He succeeded in bringing reforms, good governance and profitability to the bank to the extent possible. Ali had to work his way through the maze of politics, influence and ridicule, Ali's notable contributions at National Bank were creating a professional senior executive team, implementing the basis for Balanced Business Score Card at the top management level, bringing profitability and focus on treasury and corporate banking, making the branches and retail banking leaner and more effective and above all, managing political pressures throughout his tenure with positivity, hope and sheer hard work.

    Prior to joining the National Bank of Pakistan, Raza worked for Bank of America for 26 years. Raza is a cricket enthusiast

  3. Ali Reza is a distinguished and outstanding banker in Pakistan. He has been an excellent ambassador in the banking industry in Pakistan and abroad. We hope he will play a role in understanding that Javed Miandad and Shahid Afridi are two important elements of cricket in Pakistan and would make sure that they get justice.
    Afridi should be appointed captain with proper guidelines and rules that he has to obey on and off the field as well Mr. Reza should handle all issues to help promote cricket in Pakistan as well make the World cricket body understand that Pakistan is an important cricket playing nation.
