Zaka Ashraf assumed the role of PCB Chairman in July of the ongoing year, overseeing a tenure fraught with intense scrutiny, particularly during the 2023 World Cup, drawing criticism from former players. Nevertheless, Ashraf catalyzed significant changes in Pakistan cricket, appointing ex-fast bowler Wahab Riaz as Chief Selector and Mohammad Hafeez as Technical Director.
Amidst this, Babar Azam’s resignation from captaincy across formats led to Shan Masood and Shaheen Shah Afridi taking up Test and T20 captaincy, respectively, reshaping Pakistan cricket’s landscape. As Ashraf’s tenure winds down, the reverberations of his decisions continue to influence Pakistani cricket significantly.
