PCB Chief infuriated

“With less than a month remaining for the first Test, the international department is yet to even decide where the first match would be held,” an insider confided to PTI.

Mohsin Naqvi is adamant to hold the series in the country and thus have refused proposals to move the PAK vs ENG Test series to either South Africa or the UAE. But the construction work has created major doubts as PCB are yet to officially announce the itineary schedule.

“The Chairman has made it clear that relocating the series would damage the image of the PCB, and Rawalpindi and Multan should be used as the venues for the three-match series,” he said.

“The Chairman is not happy because the more the announcement of venues and itinerary is delayed the more it affects the board’s revenue generation opportunities from the three matches,” the insider said.
