The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee (MC), under the chairmanship of Zaka Ashraf, has transferred two high-rank officials to the special projects department.
According to a local cricket website, Director Media Sami-ul-Hasan Burney and former CEO Faisal Hasnain have been transferred to the special projects department with immediate effect.
Sami took charge of PCB's media and communications department as director in 2019 when Ehsan Mani was the chairman. Whereas, Faisal was brought in as CEO by Ramiz Raja in 2022. He replaced Wasim Khan who resigned from his post.
The media department is now temporarily headed by senior general manager Raza Kitchlew.
Previously, former Management Committee chairman Najam Sethi also made prominent changes in the set-up. He made Shahid Afridi the selection committee's chief for a brief stint followed by Haroon Rashid's appointment later on.
Once again there is a change expected in the selection committee. Mohammad Hafeez is reportedly the frontline runner for taking up the chief selector's position. Reports had claimed that the former cricketer has already been offered the post by MC chairman Ashraf.
