Zaka Ashraf, the Chairman of the Management Committee, was notably irked by the subpar arrangements during the HBL Pakistan Super League Player Draft 2024, which unfolded at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore on December 13th. Expressing his discontent, Ashraf directed his frustration towards Director Sohaib Sheikh for the inadequate organization of the event.

A tense atmosphere enveloped the meeting as the Chairman raised questions about the lack of proper arrangements despite significant financial investments. One of the primary concerns was the absence of appropriate food for the participants, further adding to the dissatisfaction. The exchange between Ashraf and Sheikh escalated, resulting in a heated discussion during the proceedings.

In response to the tense situation, Sohaib Sheikh, seemingly unhappy with the harsh tone, decided to leave the meeting. However, recognizing the significance of his role and the need for resolution, Sheikh took the initiative to apologize for his behavior the following day and subsequently rejoined his duties.
