PCB ends tradition of disclosing chairman's expenses

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has ended the tradition of releasing financial details of the chairman's expense, a board official confirmed.

This development implies that the financial affairs of the PCB chairman will be hidden from the public eye. Speaking on the matter, Media Director Sami Ul Hasan said that expenditure report was only provided during Ehsan Mani's era and it was not a norm before that.

Ehsan Mani laid the foundation of transparency according to the vision of then-PM and Patron-in-Chief Imran Khan - where all the reports were uploaded on the official website of PCB.

During Mani's era, a quarterly report regarding the chairman's expenditure was also issued which covered the period from 21 July 2021 to 21 September 2021. The report revealed that a total of Rs. 36,163,835 were spent.

Another report published on the board's website showcased PCB's expense of Rs. 150,424 which were spent on things including drivers, security guards, deal allowance, and business entertainment. 

However, since then, no quarterly report has been made public in Ramiz Raja's tenure.
