Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi gave a fitting reply to a journalist who questioned his knowledge of cricket during a press
conference on Monday. The PCB boss has promised that results will be seen with the new initiatives they have taken. Naqvi, who succeeded Zaka Ashraf as the PCB chairman, addressed issues about Pakistan cricket.

At the presser, Naqvi replied to the journalist’s question, saying that he’s here to deliver, regardless of what people think. As quoted by
cricketpakistan.pk, he said: “Time will tell how much I know about cricket but we are here to deliver. I don’t care about what people say but you will see the results. I am bringing in former stars to vet and improve the cricket system and end this culture of personal likes and dislikes.”

Following the defeat to India in the T20 World Cup 2024, where the Pakistan team failed to chase down 120, the PCB chief underlined the need for a ‘major surgery’. He also sacked Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq from the selection panel. However, Naqvi also announced the introduction of the Champions One Day Cup, Champions T20 Cup and Champions First-class Cup, saying that these three tournaments will help bring the most talented players in front.

Mohsin Naqvi said, as quoted by pcb.co.pk: “Our current standings – sixth in Tests, fourth in ODIs and seventh in T20Is – do not reflect the true potential and legacy of Pakistan cricket. To restore our rightful place at the top of world cricket, we must innovate and strategically enhance, expand and strengthen our domestic structure. The introduction of the three Champions tournaments is a bold step in this direction. The Champions tournaments will bring together our most talented and consistent performers from domestic cricket with our centrally contracted players, creating an environment that mirrors the intensity of international cricket.”
