The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wrapped up a key meeting on Saturday, and they didn’t hold back on making big changes. Chaired by PCB’s Mohsin Raza Naqvi, the board decided on some important new appointments and discussed big plans for Pakistan cricket’s future.

New Faces Taking Charge

One of the biggest updates? New leadership roles. Sumair Ahmed Syed, a top bureaucrat, is now the new Chief Operating Officer (COO) for PCB, replacing Salman Naseer.

Naseer’s been given the reins of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). This overhaul by the board shows a fresh approach, especially for PSL fans hoping for some exciting changes.

Notably, the meeting wasn’t your average gathering. Held at the National Cricket Academy, it brought together PCB bigwigs like Sajjad Khokhar, Tanveer Panahzai, Tariq Sarwar, and former Test star Zaheer Abbas. A few members joined virtually, proving that PCB’s team spirit goes beyond the boardroom.

The board didn’t just talk roles—they praised the recent performance of the Pakistan cricket team and got right into strategies for upcoming challenges. 

With the Champions Trophy 2025 on the horizon, there’s a focus on prepping and upgrading stadiums to make sure everything’s ready for the action.

All About Long-Term Progress

The board discussed everything from ongoing projects to fresh upgrades that could soon transform Pakistan’s stadiums. The discussions, according to sources, made it clear: PCB isn’t just looking at the here and now but has its sights set on a thriving future for Pakistan cricket.

With all these moves, the board’s latest meeting was packed with decisions that could shake things up in Pakistan cricket. Fans will be eagerly waiting to see how these plans unfold!
