After inducting his former cabinet member Bilal Afzal in the PCB as an analyst in the national selection committee another his buddy Amir Mir is all set make his way in the PCB.
Mohsin intends to appoint Amir Mir, as a media consultant, deviating from traditional cricketing expertise in top roles.
Mir is a brother rod known anchor Hamid Mir and is deadly against Imran Khan and his party, PTI.
On the other hand, Bilal Afzal, is a director of Punjab Group of Colleges owned by Mian Amer Mahmood of Dunya media group.
This is how things are functioning in Pakistan.
On Friday Aalia Rasheed, the media and communications director of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), tendered her resignation on Friday. Shortly thereafter, Sami-ul-Hasan, the board’s former media director, was announced as her replacement.
This revolving door of leadership is not new to the PCB, with rapid changes often accompanying shifts in chairmanship. Over the past 14 months alone, there have been four different individuals holding the position of media director; Sami, Umar Farooq, Aalia, and now Sami once again.
This trend of high-ranking officials departing following a change in leadership is consistent within the PCB.
Nepotism and favouritism is the hall mark of Shehbaz Sharif government and PCB is no exception under Mohsin Naqvi who is now dreaming of becoming PM.
Recent appointments made by Mohsin Naqvi have raised eyebrows. Several government officers have been brought into key positions within the organisation, despite lacking significant cricketing backgrounds.
Lagay raho Muna Bhai…PAK DESTINY
