"He [Wasim Khan] is a full-time employee of the PCB, a chief executive, so he could have exerted a lot of influence over the committee," said Mani. "I want this to be a completely independent committee comprised of former cricketers, including international cricketers, who can dispense clear advice, do a critical analysis and who have access to all levels of cricket, whether domestic or international.”

"Wasim, too, is accountable. So it was not appropriate for him to run the committee," he added.

Chairman and CEO agree to revamp PCB Cricket Committee. Independent chairman to be appointed, while CEO will remain part of the committee. Misbah’s replacement to be appointed. Next meeting expected in January.
