Senate Urges PCB Leadership Change: Mohsin Naqvi Faces Calls for Resignation
Zafar and Senator Ahmed Highlight Issues with Cricket and Other Sports' Decline
Pakistan-Senate Urges PCB Leadership Change: Mohsin Naqvi Faces Calls for Resignation. During a recent Senate session, Senator Ali Zafar expressed strong criticism regarding the current state of sports in Pakistan, with a particular focus on cricket. While praising javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem for his recent success and celebrating him as a national hero, Senator Zafar raised concerns about the decline of other sports such as hockey and squash, which were once sources of national pride.
No Need to Worry About Political Situation, Government is Stable: Mohsin Naqvi
Zafar lamented the state of cricket, declaring, “Our cricket is ruined,” and called for the resignation of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi. He argued that Naqvi, whom he criticized for lacking the necessary expertise, is unfit to lead the board. “If the leadership is incompetent, the institution will crumble,” he stated. Zafar compared this situation to appointing someone unqualified to lead a medical college, saying, “I would become a butcher, not a doctor.”
Senator Zafar urged the appointment of a qualified individual as PCB Chairman and proposed a Senate debate to address the broader decline of Pakistan’s sports sector.

Senator Manzoor Ahmed supported Zafar’s criticism, highlighting the high salaries of cricketers—ranging from Rs. 4 to 6 million—while pointing out the lack of significant achievements. He also stressed the need for qualified experts in the PCB and backed the call for Chairman Naqvi’s resignation.
The debate underscored significant concerns about leadership within Pakistan’s sports institutions and called for reform to restore the country’s sports legacy.
