Delhi: The Pakistan cricket team’s performance in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was very poor. Pakistan was hosting this tournament itself. Despite this, the team could not move beyond the group stage and got out of the tournament without winning any match. Now big news has come out about this issue. Pakistan Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif is going to raise this defeat in Parliament. His political and public affairs advisor Rana Sanaullah told in an interview to a private channel that the Prime Minister himself will keep the matter for discussion in the cabinet and Parliament.
Question on PCB functioning
Rana Sanaullah also said that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is an independent institution and can take its own decisions. However, he will personally urge the Prime Minister to take the matter seriously. He made it clear that this is not just the issue of appointment of the chairman, but there are many big issues related to cricket.
When he was questioned about the salary of PCB officials, he said that people sitting in high positions of the board are being given salary of up to Rs 50 lakh every month. This has also been confirmed in media reports.
Question on PCB officials’ work
Rana Sanaullah said that many officers in PCB are unaware of their responsibilities and are taking high salary without any work. He also questioned the benefits and facilities being provided in the board. He said that looking at the kind of privileges the PCB officials are getting, it seems as if they are connected to the institute of a developed country, not part of the Pakistan Cricket Board.
He also told that such disturbances have been going on in PCB for years. Some people gain position on the strength of power and then start taking decisions according to their own. For this reason, the condition of Pakistan cricket has become so bad.
