Former captain of the Pakistan cricket team, Shahid Afridi, has suggested that Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi should choose between his various current responsibilities and focus on one role.

 

According to Afridi, he recently met with General Asim Munir, the Chief of Army Staff, in Rawalpindi, extending his condolences on the passing of General Munir's mother.

 

During the meeting, Afridi said, "The PCB is a 24/7 job, and as a result, Naqvi should opt between his position at the Ministry of Interior and the PCB." He acknowledged Naqvi as a hardworking individual but emphasized that "he cannot effectively manage both roles and contribute as much to cricket as he might wish."

 

Afridi added, "Cricket is the only major source of entertainment in the country. It demands full-time commitment, so Naqvi should relinquish one of his responsibilities and focus on his role at the PCB."

 

Further reports indicate that during the T20 World Cup in the United States in June, Mohsin Naqvi had offered Afridi a role within the PCB. However, Afridi declined the offer, citing his existing commitments as the reason for his inability to take on the additional responsibility.
