PCB chairman denies resignation rumours
LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Shahryar Khan on Friday rejected reports that he has tendered resignation from his post for national team’s dismal performance in World Twenty20 and Asia Cup.
Speaking to media, he said: "I have not tendered resignation. All speculations in this regard are baseless."
Earlier sources said the PCB chairman would announce his decision in a press conference at around 4:00 p.m on Friday.
It was reported that the PCB chief decided to step down after a special committee, tasked to find the reasons behind Pakistan's disappointing performance in the World Twenty20 tournament, submits its recommendations to the country's cricket chief.
Having started with a bang in the WT20 tournament by thrashing Bangladesh, Pakistan lost their next three games against India, New Zealand and Australia to crash out of the tournament at the first hurdle.
The country's top cricket officials are probing into the causes behind the team’s catastrophic performance in the World Twenty20 championship and the preceding Asia Cup in Bangladesh.
