Karachi – April 15, 2025:
Two significant director positions have fallen vacant at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following the resignation of high-ranking officials. The move comes as part of a restructuring process within the board, which has faced internal pressure and criticism in recent months over its management and decision-making.
The Director of Domestic Cricket and the Director of Marketing positions were both vacated, as the individuals holding these roles decided to step down. The resignations have raised eyebrows within the cricketing community, as both positions are pivotal to the development of grassroots cricket and the board’s revenue-generating activities.
According to a PCB spokesperson, the resignations are part of a broader effort to bring in fresh leadership to improve the structure of the organization. These roles are crucial in managing domestic cricket competitions, player development programs, and the board’s commercial endeavors, including sponsorships and media rights.
The Director of Domestic Cricket is responsible for overseeing the structure and growth of Pakistan’s domestic cricket leagues and feeder systems, while the Director of Marketing focuses on attracting corporate sponsorships and expanding the PCB’s reach through media and promotional channels.
Industry insiders suggest that the resignation of these directors comes at a challenging time for the PCB, with the national team preparing for several key international series. The board has yet to announce replacements, but sources within the PCB indicate that new appointments will be made soon to ensure continuity in operations.
The PCB’s leadership continues to be under scrutiny following recent performance concerns and internal debates over the future direction of the organization.
