The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Interim Management Committee, headed by Najam Sethi, has had their tenure extended by the federal government.

The Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) has forwarded a request to the Prime Minister to extend the committee's term and also nominate two candidates for the board, one of whom will be appointed as the new chairman.

The committee's original tenure was set to end on April 21, but they now have approximately four more weeks to work on reviving the 2014 constitution.

According to a government notice, PCB’s former chairman, Ramiz Raja, was dismissed from his position shortly after the national team's 3-0 home series defeat against England.

A notice from the government, as reported by AFP, stated that Raja had been dismissed from Sharif's cabinet, and a 14-member committee led by Sethi, who has previously served as chairman, would now oversee the operations of the PCB.

The notice further mentioned that the existing constitution of the board has been abolished, and the one from 2014 would be reinstated. The committee was given a timeframe of 120 days to revise the constitution and elect a new chairman.
