The PCB management committee announced eight governing board members in yesterday's meeting.
However, the Ministry of Interprovincial Affairs stated that the committee's term concluded on June 19th and 20th, invalidating its decisions. Moreover, it is expected that the individuals announced as governing board members will not be accepted.
Former Pakistan captain, Aamer Sohail, has already taken a proactive stance by serving legal notices to the IPC Minister and Election Commissioner to impede the committee's functioning and operations.

Following this, a certain future action plan will be devised.
Now, the question is, who holds the authority to form the governing board? To which he said that as per Article 38, Section 6, the management committee was supposed to do this. Furthermore, he said that any of the ten members of the BOG (Board of Governors) have the option to nominate themselves for the position of chairman.
