Have virtually no hope from the PCB, at the same i have full confidence that they will blow every good opportunity.
The thing is PCB is full of braindead individuals be it Rambo who was blabbing about "Blank check" or the new guy Zaka Ashraf who triggered a fair amount of people with the "Dushman Mulk" remark. FFS you are head of PCB, you can't be that unprofessional and play for the gallery when sitting at the top. In contrast look at BCCI, they might be corrupt af but they never say things like that or even react to these antics and give random interviews. They are all about business, that's it.
Agreed. BCCI is not even bothered about anyone else (including the PCB). They just want to maximize their revenue as much as possible. And the guys in power, be it Jay Shah or Anurag Thakur have done a great job in this regard. If PCB focus more on the PSL and media rights, then they would be in a much better position. Instead they are spending all of their energy in trivial things. Kicking out all the politicians from the PCB and handing over responsibility to ex-players may do the trick in my opinion. BTW, what is the qualification of Zaka Ashraf? Has he ever represented the national team?
Both Anurag Thakur and Jay Shah are a product of nepotism but Mota Bhai's launda seems quite in administrative roles and not many people are aware of the fact that this mf got into an administrative job in his early 20s, mainly due to his daddy mota bhai so nepo kid does have a decade of experience under his belt and he's only 35.
Well, in the subcontinent you don't need this sort of qualifications, you are good to go if you are connected to ruling parties. One major difference is that in Indian state boards are largely independent and overall it's decentralized because different political parties hold stakes in each state board so need some sort of consensus or call it powerplay. It's more like you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours.

The problem is Pakistan did try that. And it did not work. Pakistan actually fired the people who made that decision and appointed new people if I am not wrong.
Nah, PCB officials get sacked whenever a new gov comes into power. Rambo got a little bit breather though and it happened the first time.
