PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi blasts the journalist
Mohsin Naqvi, a businessman-turned-politician who previously served as the caretaker chief minister of Punjab Province before this year’s general elections, expressed frustration when a journalist questioned his cricketing knowledge, asserting that he focuses on delivering results for the PCB. He underscored that his experience and commitment to the role matter most, despite any doubts about his cricketing expertise. Naqvi also announced the formation of advisory board headed by Waqar Younis
“Time will tell how much I know about cricket but we are here to deliver. I don’t care about what people say but you will see the results, I am bringing in former stars to vet and improve the cricket system and end this culture of personal likes and dislikes. We will vet this new domestic structure into the constitution as well so that in future it cannot be changed,” he said.

Naqvi announced that the new domestic structure will be introduced next month. It will feature five teams, each comprising 30 players. These teams will compete in various Champions tournaments, including first-class, 50-over, and T20 matches.
“Each team will be supervised by a reputable former stalwart and he will be given three years to manage and get results,” Naqvi concluded.
Further emphasizing on the structure the committee head Waqar said he agreed and liked the concept of the new system and resources would be spent to strengthen domestic cricket.
Each team will have a support staff of some 10 people including coaches. We will appoint five legends to head the teams and I am already in touch with some of them, the former Pakistan fast bowler said. Cricket remains our product and we have to play good cricket to maintain our brand. All rest comes later,” Waqar concluded.
