KCCA’s resolutions on new PCB constitution
Bureau Report

KARACHI—The Executive Council of Karachi City Cricket Association (KCCA) held under the Chairmanship of Dr.S.M.A. Shah on Sunday evening and expressed their satisfaction in getting rid of Adhocism Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after eight years.
The meeting was largely attended by KCCA Vice Presidents Khalil Ahmed Nainitalwal, Ajmal Ansari, Mehtab Ahmed, Mian Azmat Hussain and all Executive Council members. The Council also felicitated Dr. Nasim Ashraf on his nomination as Chairman PCB for a fresh term of 3 year terms. KCCA extended full support and cooperation to him for his successful tenure as constitutional Chairman of PCB.
However the KCCA Council expressed its grave reservation on various clauses of the newly implemented Constitution of PCB and urged Dr.Nasim Ashraf to defer its implementation and holding any meeting of PCB Governing Board until removal of various ambiguities and anomalies. The Council requested the Chairman for an urgent meeting with the representatives of KCCA to point out its reservations. The EC meeting also expressed its grave concern over withdrawal of permanent seats of Karachi and Lahore - the premier cricket nurseries of Pakistan cricket, on the Governing Board of PCB which used to enjoy permanent seats in PCB Council in the subsequent Constitutions of PCB and ambiguity on the representation of Karachi and Lahore on the General Body of PCB according to cricketing density.
The Council urged the President of Pakistan to restore permanent seats for Karachi and Lahore and allow at least one representative from each of the four provinces with a special seat to the twin cities of Islamabad and Rawalpindi on the Governing Board of PCB.
The meeting appealed to President of Pakistan who is the Patron of the PCB to restore the democratic shape of PCB. Presently in the house of 15 members only six members are elected while majority (nine) are nominated.
