PCB terminates 70 staffers

Regional offices abolished

Sports Reporter

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has abolished the offices of its Regional Development Managers and General Managers while terminated at least 70 persons working there with immediate effect.

The move is a part of the board's down sizing and right sizing policy which was hinted by the newly appointed Chairman Ijaz Butt and new Director Admin & HR Wasim Bari who had hinted to cut down the number of the PCB employees.

There were eleven regional offices headed by the RDM or RGM while four to five staffers were working there. The PCB had provided transportation and other facilities to the officials appointed there. The regional officials were supposed to implement PCB policies, look after domestic cricket and development work being carried out in their respective areas. But they failed to produce satisfactory results for four years that spurred the PCB's new management to abolish theses posts. PCB would save as much as Rs four to five million per month, being spent on about 70 people.

RGM Karachi region, former Test cricketer Mohsin Khan had already resigned from the post opting to go for running commentary assignment while staff from other ten regions including Hyderabad, Multan, Faisalabad, Lahore, Rawalpindi, Federal Areas, Peshawar, Abbottabad and Quetta regions has been terminated on Thursday.

The PCB management has decided to look after and control the regional affairs centrally controlled from its head offices where an ample staff is recruited to run the domestic and international cricket department. The department has the services of lower staff, senior manager General and directors while the PCB has recently appointed former Test cricketer Javed Miandad as the head of its cricket department.

Former Chairman PCB Dr. Nasim Ashraf had recruited more than seven hundred people in the PCB and there had been a serious criticism from different quarters on the over crowding.

The current management seemed committed to cut down the number of staff in an effort to get rid of extra staff while manage its working with in the available resources and save funds to be used on constructive activities of the board.

The termination has been done in accordance with the rules of the PCB staff contract.

Pakistani cricket Inc. is a portfolio of the Pakistani political government, hence the madness.
