Former International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman Ehsan Mani has been elected as the new chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Mani was elected unopposed at a special meeting of the Board of Governors held at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
The meeting was chaired by the Election Commissioner for PCB Justice (retd) Syed Afzal Haider.
Last month, Prime Minister Imran Khan had nominated Mani as a member of PCB’s governing board.
Mani will serve as the chairman of Pakistan’s cricketing body for the next three years.
On August 20, Najam Sethi resigned from his post as chairman, almost four years after he took over the reins of the cricket board and oversaw the return of international cricket to Pakistan.
Sethi was nominated to the Board of Governors of the PCB (as per the Pakistan Cricket Board Constitution of 2014 approved by the ICC and Supreme Court of Pakistan) by ousted premier Nawaz Sharif from 2014-2017 and then again from 2017- 2020 by former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
