Former Pakistan cricketers Aaqib Javed and Moin Khan are among contenders for top roles in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), according to sources.

In his first press conference as the new Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman last month, Ramiz Raja talked about adopting a ruthless approach to fix things internally.

Having already accepted the resignation of Misbahul Haq and Waqar Younis, Ramiz Raja also forced the PCB CEO Wasim Khan out the door. Reports claim that Wasim resigned after a lot of the responsibility was taken away from him on the instructions of the new chairman.

Ramiz used strong words when he was first inquired about Wasim Khan's future at the PCB.

"If I were to talk about scrolls, then 90% of the PCB should be sacked," said Ramiz during his first press conference.

There are rumours that a number of other high-level resignations are also expected, which will open doors for others to walk into.

Moin and Aaqib, who are the head coaches of HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchises Quetta Gladiators and Lahore Qalandars respectively, are the top candidates to join Ramiz in pursuit of getting Pakistan cricket back on track.
