Ashraf had stepped down as the chairperson of the PCB management committee chairperson on Friday (Jan 19). He had taken over the charge from Najam Sethi who had earlier tendered his resignation from the top office in 2023. Ashraf had handed his resignation to Patron Caretaker Prime Minister Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, who had previously handed the committee a three-month extension to oversee the elections for the vacant role of PCB chairman and finalising the Board of Governors "at the earliest."
While cricket matters have been chaotic off-field, it is no different on-field for national side who have suffered humiliating losses in Australia and New Zealand post-ODI World Cup. They lost 3-0 to Australiain the Test series while they were beaten 4-1 in the five-match T20I series.
The national side was eliminated in the league stage of the ODI World Cup after which chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq had blasted Zaka Ashraf. The then chief of the PCB was responsible for leaking chats of players while also criticising the players for their dismal show in the World Cup.
