Recently, Mohammad Hafeez was appointed as the coach of the Pakistan cricket team. In addition, Wahab Riaz took on the responsibility of Chief Selector. Mohammad Hafeez and Wahab Riaz are believed to have had the support of Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf. But now Zaka Ashraf's departure is certain. In fact, PCB Chairman Zaka Ashraf's resignation from the chairmanship is all but certain.
According to media reports, Zaka Ashraf had to resign after the power reduction. In place of Zaka Ashraf, the incumbent chief minister of Punjab province, Mohsin Naqvi, will now be appointed chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board. Pakistan's incumbent Prime Minister Anwar ul Haq Kakkar has nominated Mohsin Naqvi. Although there is no official statement yet, according to media reports, Zaka Ashraf's departure is certain.
One political appointment leads to another, mocking the ICC rule that politics and government must not interfere.

Recently, Pakistan team under the captaincy of Babar Azam showed a shameful performance in the Cricket World Cup. After that, a period of change is underway in Pakistan cricket. Shan Masood was appointed captain of the Test team in place of Babar Azam. In addition, Shaheen Afridi took over the captaincy of the T20 team. The departure of Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf is now certain. Also, it is almost certain that Mohsin Naqvi will become PCB chairman instead of Zaka Ashraf.
