“Members discussed and deliberated on the future course of action and unanimously agreed that advertisements for vacant coaching positions should be published as soon as possible,” read a PCB press release.
The participants of the meeting were also briefed on the feedback gathered from the team management appointed for the Asia Cup and World Twenty20.
Meanwhile, PCB Chairman Najam Sethi and Chief Operating Officer Subhan Ahmad provided an update to the MC members on the ‘Big three’ issue pertaining to the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) commercial revenues and governance. They also relayed PCB’s stance on giving conditional support on the ICC resolutions.
