The upcoming season of Quaid-e-Azam Trophy might get rescheduled as the Lahore High Court (LHC) rejected the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s newly passed constitution.
LHC’s bench headed by Justice Shahid Mubeen, last week, suspended the newly passed constitution of the PCB. The petitioners Munir Ahmed and Ahmed Nawaz claimed that the board has made amendments in the constitution without the approval of PCB’s board of governors.
The court issues the order to re-enforce the old constitution of 2014 according to which the departmental cricket resumes its status. The members of the board of governors and officials of associations resumed their charge.
On the other hand, the ARY Sports reached out to PCB’s media department and some high-ups in the board to record their stance on the situation but they didn’t give any response.
It is pertinent to mention here that the PCB made amendments in their constitution which includes the introduction of the post of Managing Director. All the major powers were transferred to the MD.
A new domestic structure consisting of just six regions was introduced in the constitution. Departmental cricket was dissolved.
Moreover, the patron-in-chief of the board will be no longer able to remove the chairman. The constitution came into effect on August 19.
