The Pakistan Cricket Board is the governing body of cricket in Pakistan. It is responsible for organising and controlling the national cricket team. Its goal is to improve the quality of the sport and increase Pakistan’s profile in the world. The PCB is currently facing several criticisms, some of which have been addressed in this article.
Mohammad Hafeez criticizes Pakistan Cricket Board
The Pakistan cricketer Mohammad Hafeez recently criticized the Pakistan Cricket Board’s new model of cricket. He questioned the appointment of Ramiz Raja as the PCB’s new chairman. He also criticized the PCB for reducing the number of teams in domestic cricket and for abolishing departmental teams.
Hafeez has been a vocal critic of the Pakistan cricket board for years. He has said that the PCB should focus on the game of cricket and not on politics. He criticized the cricket board and its policies on social media. He also criticized the PCB for not testing bowlers prior to international matches.
Hafeez says he’s willing to do anything to help Pakistan cricket. He says he’s not just looking for money, but the power to make changes. He also said that he’s unhappy with the way the media has misquoted his comments.
Pakistan Cricket Board’s decision to play Shaheen Shah Afridi despite his injury has prompted some critics to attack the PCB. Afridi, who suffered a knee injury while on tour in Sri Lanka, has missed the Asia Cup due to the knee injury. Afridi, who had been travelling with the team, is undergoing rehabilitation in London.
Mohammad Hafeez criticized the PCB’s decision to bat at number four against New Zealand. He asked the PCB to give youngsters more opportunities. He also criticised the decision to promote Shadab Khan to number four in the tri-nation series.
Mohammad Hafeez made some strange remarks about India during a television debate about the Asia Cup. Hafeez said that the Men in Blue receive special treatment in world cricket due to the financial power of the BCCI. His comments received widespread criticism from Indian fans on social media.
Misbah-ul-Haq, the head of the PCB, is frustrated with the players. His frustrations are evident in the recent whitewash against Sri Lanka. He believes that the team’s players should have won the series. Misbah-ul-Haq’s frustrations have been reflected in a series of poor performance. Despite the fact that Pakistan has regained international cricket in 2009, the team has been unable to win a Test match in the country since the terror attacks in Lahore.
PCB should pay 60% of BCCI’s Claimed Costs
The PCB has been ordered to pay 60% of the BCCI’s claimed costs following a decision by an ICC Dispute Resolution Panel. The PCB had sought compensation from the BCCI for failing to honour a bilateral series agreement. The BCCI had counterclaimed and demanded PCB to pay their legal costs.
The BCCI had initially claimed the PCB should pay its legal costs and the ICC has ruled that the PCB should pay 60% of the BCCI’s claimed costs. While the parties have not made the full cost public, the total amount is close to USD 2 million. In addition, Pakistan is not playing in front of its own fans anymore. Since 2009, they have been based in the UAE and have lost $100 million due to their non-competitive status.
PCB’s compensation claim against BCCI was dismissed by the Dispute Resolution Committee (DRC) and the PCB was ordered to pay 60 per cent of BCCI’s legal costs. While the ICC has upheld the BCCI’s decision to pay their legal costs, the PCB should also pay their administrative costs.
The PCB has filed a claim against the BCCI for USD 70 million in damages after the BCCI failed to meet its obligations in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). During the MOU, the two sides agreed to play six bilateral series against each other in the coming eight years. However, the MOU failed to receive government clearance and political tension led to the PCB to initiate legal proceedings against the BCCI.
In the ICC dispute resolution committee, the PCB should pay 60 per cent of BCCI’s Claimed Costs and 60% of its administrative expenses. The DRC will determine whether PCB owes the rest of the claimed costs to the DRC.
In the meantime, the PCB is happy with the outcome of the arbitration. The ICC has constituted a Dispute Resolution Committee consisting of three members to look into the PCB’s compensation claim. The committee held a hearing on October 1-3 and ruled that it was inappropriate to exclude the PCB from paying all of BCCI’s Claimed Costs.
The BCCI is now unable to conduct bilateral series with Pakistan after the PCB requested an investigation. The BCCI also claimed that the PCB had failed to secure government approval for the series. This case is further complicated by the fact that India has been forced to play Pakistan in ICC tournaments because of political tension between the two countries.
Domestic Twenty20 women’s franchise tournament to attract young women to PCB
The Pakistan Cricket Board plans to host a domestic Twenty20 women’s franchise tournament in January and February of next year. It already has 20 centrally contracted women’s cricketers, but it needs at least 28 more to compete in the league. The PCB is likely to turn to players from the national Under-19 cricket tournament to fill those roles.
The PCB’s efforts to make the sport more inclusive will have two benefits: the competition will push the national team to progress, and the tournament will help attract more young women to the sport. The women’s team has been underperforming in recent tournaments, partly because of lack of opportunities to play the sport.
The domestic T20 women’s franchise tournament will be the first in Pakistan. The PCB has applied for several sponsorship rights for the tournament, including title sponsorship, live-streaming rights, and team franchise. As a result of the success of the women’s league, the PCB has begun recruiting young female players.
The PCB plans to run the domestic Twenty20 women’s league alongside the men’s Pakistan Super League in 2023. League matches will be played in Rawalpindi, with four city-based teams featuring twelve local and six international players. The top two teams will face off in the final, which will be played the day before the PSL 8 final.
The PCB has announced that the first season of the league will take place from 3 March to 18 March 2023. The matches will be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. There are hopes that the league will attract international cricketers and attract young girls to Pakistan Cricket.
The Pakistan Cricket Board has also announced the dates of the Women’s T20 League. The tournament will run alongside the Pakistan Super League and will begin in early March 2023. The first season will feature four teams, each consisting of twelve local and six foreign players. A final game will be played on 18th March 2023 between the top two teams. The women’s franchise tournament will be played alongside the men’s Pakistan Super League, which will be played next year.
The HBL will host some matches prior to the HBL Pakistan Super League eight matches. The HBL is hoping the domestic Twenty20 women’s franchise tournament will bring in young women to the game. It will also be a showcase for the women’s game.
