Karachi, May 21: The Parliamentary Standing Committees on Sports have suggested disbandment of the Pakistan Cricket Board and appointment of an ad-hoc committee to run game in the country after a leaked video exposed the strife and politics within the team.
Iqbal Muhammad Khan, who heads the National Assembly Committee, said PCB has made a mess of cricket affairs in the country.
“I think Ejaz Butt should step down honorably and the government should appoint an ad-hoc committee to put cricket matters back on track,” he said.
Ghaffar Qureshi, who heads the Senate Committee, said he would call for the holding of a joint parliamentary session of both the committees to probe into cricket matters and discuss the leaked video recordings.
“We will have a joint session soon in which all Board officials, players and former and present team officials will be summoned,” Qureshi said.
