He highlighted that his motivation does not stem from monetary gains but rather from a genuine ambition to elevate Pakistan cricket to new heights. He also acknowledged Ashraf as a respected administrator and expressed his appreciation for the offers extended to him during their meeting.

The upcoming World Cup will be a challenge for Hafeez if he eventually succeeds in assuming one of the two positions. The turmoil surrounding India-Pakistan cricket and their rivalry is another important aspect that he needs to focus on.

The PCB recently threatened to pull out of the World Cup in India if Pakistan were denied being the hosts of the Asia Cup 2023. However, the tournament will be played in a hybrid model with Pakistan hosting four games and the remaining nine games will be played in Sri Lanka.

Former Pakistan cricketers Younis Khan, Mohsin Hassan Khan, and Saleem Yousaf are also being considered for important positions in the PCB.
