Misbah-ul-Haq Likely To Lose One Of His Multiple Role Due To New PCB Ethics Code

Misbah-ul-Haq will likely lose one of his multiple role due to the new PCB ethics code proposed by their chairman Ehsan Mani. Former Pakistan captain Misbah serves as the head coach and selector of the board and also has his reservation over his signing on as head coach of the Islamabad United franchise in the PSL.

Apart from Misbah, fast bowling legend Wasim Akram has also come under radar for holding multiple roles. Akram is a member of the Board’s cricket committee and also works with the Karachi Kings franchise. Apart from that he also has shares in a company which has been given digital rights by the board.

“Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Ehsan Mani wanted a new ethics code as in recent years there have been numerous complaints and issues of multiple roles by its officials, employees or members leading to a conflict of interest situation in their respective roles,” a source was quoted as saying by PTI.

The report from PTI said that the 27-page code was approved at the last meeting of the PCB’s Board of Governors and aims to cover every individual working with the Board and the Pakistan Super League (PSL). The board is expanding its sources and thus addressing the conflict of interest.

Former Pakistan women’s captain Bismah Maroof has also come under radar as she is the member of the cricket committee besides heading the PCB women’s wing and being the chief selector of women’s cricket.
