Shahid Afridi had already praised
Shehbaz Sharif, the prime minister, for selecting him to serve on the PCB
executive committee.
The former well-known player
expressed his eagerness to help Pakistan cricket at the grassroots level but
acknowledged that his long-term place in the current system was unclear.
The Pakistan Cricket Board makes
significant changes just days after Shehbaz Sharif appointed Najam Sethi to
chair a committee charged with overseeing PCB operations for the following
three months.
