Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi on Monday hit back at his critics, saying he is here to deliver and is least bothered about what his detractors think of his knowledge about the game.
Former Ace Pacer Waqar Younis, has taken on a pivotal role as the newest advisor for Cricket Affairs to Mohsin Naqvi, the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board. His wealth of experience and knowledge is set to make a significant impact on the future of Pakistani cricket.
During the press conference on Monday, Waqar Younis, in his new role, unveiled three exciting new tournaments that are set to redefine the Men’s Domestic Cricket Season 2024-25.
The tournaments will feature five teams- the Dolphins, Lions, Panthers, Stallions, and Wolves. Each event will follow a double-league format, promising intense and thrilling competition.
Waqar said he agreed and liked the concept of the new system and resources would be spent on strengthening domestic cricket.
“We will appoint five legends to head the teams and I am already in touch with some of them,” the former Pakistan fast bowler said.
“Cricket remains our product and we have to play good cricket to maintain our brand. All rest comes later,” he added.
Naqvi said the new domestic structure will be launched from next month and will revolve around five teams, which will include 30 players each. These five sides will take part in the Champions tournaments, including first class, 50-over and T20 matches.
“Each team will be supervised by a reputable former stalwart and he will be given three years to manage and get results. Each team will have a support staff of some 10 people including coaches,” he explained.
