LAHORE: Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Shaharyar M Khan has said that officially he has learnt nothing from the Patron-in-Chief of the Board, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, about the fate of his resignation whether it has been accepted or not.
Asked to comment on media reports saying the PM has not accepted his resignation which he tendered on April 27, Shaharyar said he has also heard the news from different quarters but officially he has received nothing.
Shaharyar sent his resignation citing health and other reasons for the decision he took about four months before the completion of his three-year tenure in August this year.
“I am doing my job and waiting an official word from the Patron about my resignation. I am going to Islamabad on Wednesday where I have to appear before the Senate Standing Committee on Sports on Thursday,†Shaharyar said.
Shaharyar was elected as PCB chairman in 2014, in result of ending a crucial legal war in the Supreme Court, started after Prime Minister has appointed Najam Sethi as PCB chairman in place of Zaka Ashraf.
The Supreme Court disposed off the case after Sethi assured the Apex court that he will no more be the candidate of the PCB. The premier then recommended the name of Shaharyar M Khan for the coveted post, who was working as one of the Board of Governors of the PCB at that time.
