ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the interior minister, came under fire in both houses of parliament following Pakistan’s embarrassing defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in a two-match Test series in Rawalpindi, with lawmakers demanding his resignation from the board.
They said there was no justification for making Mohsin Naqvi the head of the cricket board and after the ‘annihilation’ at the hands of Bangladesh, his removal had become imperative. The lawmakers chanted slogans of shame in the Senate, asking the premier to appoint a competent person as the PCB chairman.
PTI leader Barrister Syed Ali Zafar said that after Bangladesh’s defeat of Pakistan, he believed that cricket had also been destroyed in the country like other games.
“There is only one reason for the disaster, and that is when you appoint an incompetent head of an institution, not only the institution is destroyed, but all the work done by the institution is spoiled,” he remarked.
