KARACHI, July 1: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is virtually
working without a chief executive after Majid Khan admitted that he
was not attending the office in that capacity.
"Yes, I am going to the office but not as chief executive of the
PCB," he remarked when asked what was the official stand of the PCB
on cricketing relations with India.
"My tenure expired on May 22 and until I am given future instructions
by President Rafique Tarrar, I will continue to go to the office but
not as chief executive," he said from Lahore.
According to the constitution of the PCB, President of Pakistan, in
his capacity as Patron of the PCB, is empowered to appoint the chief
executive besides the chairman and treasurer.
Majid was recently in England for the World Cup but didn't attend the
International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting that was held between
June 22 and 24.
Majid's salary and other benefits have been stopped by the other
officials of the cricket board as the former captain waits for future
instructions from the presidency.
"What is the position of the PCB, whether the Sahara Cup will be
held? I think these are the questions you should ask the secretary of
the PCB if the chairman is not available," he added.
The Sahara Cup which is to be organized and participated by Pakistan
and India until 2001, is in jeopardy following Indian Board of
Control for Cricket (BCCI) president Raj Singh Dungarpur's statement
that cricket can't remain in isolation.
"The sentiments of the people have to be respected," he was quoted as
saying.
Pakistan's former stalwarts have criticised Dungarpur but the policy
decision of the PCB will only be known after Khalid Mahmood returns
from England. He is expected sometime next week.
