LAHORE, Sep 29 (APP): The Board of Governors of the Pakistan Cricket Board on Wednesday met via video conference in which they unanimously accepted the resignation of Chief Executive, PCB, Wasim Khan.

The outgoing official had joined the PCB on a three-year contract on February 1, 2019.


Following the meeting, PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said here: “During his time with the PCB,
Wasim Khan provided excellent leadership, particularly following the outbreak of the Covid-19
pandemic when very little information was available and precise decision-making was required
to ensure cricket remained unaffected and continued to be played at the domestic and
international levels.


“The PCB owes Wasim Khan a debt of gratitude for his good leadership and we wish him well
in his future plans and career endeavours.”


Wasim Khan said: “It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the Pakistan Cricket Board
and hugely satisfying to see the resumption of Test cricket with Sri Lanka playing Tests in
Rawalpindi and Karachi, and the homecoming of the HBL Pakistan Super League during the
last two years.


“When I arrived in 2019, there was a real need to build relationships and restore and enhance
the global image and reputation of the PCB and Pakistan cricket.

With decisive and strategic decision-making, particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic, we succeeded in earning the goodwill and respect of the global cricketing family, which I am hopeful will lead to increased international cricket being hosted in Pakistan in future.


“With a five-year strategy in place, new domestic structure in its third season and the investment
in women’s cricket in an upward direction, I feel it is the right time to move on and reunite with
my young family. They have sacrificed a lot so that I could fulfill my dreams of contributing
to Pakistan cricket, which will always remain very close to my heart.


“I am grateful to have worked with all our fantastic commercial partners and the passionate
people at the PCB.

I would also like to thank each and every one of my staff for supporting
me as well as the Pakistan men and women players, and the Pakistan cricket fans.


“Lastly, I want to wish PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja the very best during his tenure, I am sure
there will be exciting times ahead for Pakistan Cricket under his leadership.”
