The former President of International Cricket Council (ICC) Ehsan Mani has been elected as the Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a three-year term.
The 73-year-old Ehsan Mani was elected as the Chairman PCB unopposed in the Board of Governors (BoG) meeting held at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday under the Chairmanship of the Interim Chairman and Election Commissioner Justice (retd) Afzal Haider.

Except Ehsan Mani, no one had submitted his nomination paper for the Post.
The Chairman PCB Post had been lying vacant since the previous Chairman Najam Sethi tendered his resignation on August 20, 2018.

Following Sethi’s resignation, Prime Minister Imran Khan nominated Ehsan Mani for the Chairmanship of PCB.
Ehsan Mani did wonders for ICC as its President. He was also a key figure in World Cup 1996 and World T20 2007. Under his tenure, women’s cricket was integrated with men’s.
But first thing he needs to do as PCB chairman is to look at Misbah and Imran Farhat’s Twitter timelines.
