Shoaib Naveed decides against extending contract as PSL Project Executive

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) today confirmed that the Pakistan Super League (PSL) Project Executive Shoaib Naveed will not be seeking an extension to his contract when it expires on December 23.

Shoaib had joined the PCB last year and was instrumental in the successful planning and delivery of the fifth edition of PSL, which was staged in Pakistan from start to finish.

He has also previously worked with the PSL franchise Islamabad United, where he was the Chief Operating Officer (COO). Naveed also served as Head Project Manager – HBL PSL and Manager - Marketing and Sales between 2014 and 2016.

He has a Masters in Sports Industry Management from Georgetown University and has worked with the NFLPA and the Washington Wizards and Capitals in past roles.

“I am proud that I had the honour of serving Pakistan Super League as its first Project Executive. A key highlight from my second stint at the PSL has been the fact that we were able to organise the full season in Pakistan with the support of the entire PCB team, team owners, security agencies and local administrations,” said Naveed.

“However, with a young family, I have realised that I need to move on to a different challenge. HBL PSL is Pakistan's biggest brand and remains close to my heart, I wish it all the success,” he added.

Following Shoaib Naveed’s departure, PCB Director – Commercial, Babar Hamid, will lead the planning and delivery of the Pakistan Super League 2021.
