LAHORE: The on-going captaincy row that rocked Pakistan cricket earlier this week, surprisingly does not feature on the heavy agenda of the much-awaited PCB governing board meeting to be held here on Monday (today). The PCB is under pressure to resolve the simmering captaincy row that started at the National Assembly Standing Committee on Sports session this week when Younis Khan, miffed at the baseless match-fixing allegations hurled at him, resigned as Pakistan skipper. Younis has since laid down his conditions for withdrawing his resignation amid reports of a possible player-revolt against him also taking rounds.
With the issue getting heavily publicised and being the talk of the town, it is expected that PCB chairman Ijaz Butt will discuss it threadbare in the governing board meeting before taking a final decision. However, there’s no mention of it in the agenda that has other issues such as the approval of the PCB budget 2009-10 figuring more prominently. Interestingly, the budget is being presented after a delay of almost four months since it must have been approved before July 1, 2009. In fact, Ijaz had frozen the budget since taking charge on Oct 8, 2008 and this is the first time since then that it has come up for discussion. The audited statement of the financial affairs for the period of 2007 to 2008 will also be presented to the members, while the auditor for the period 2008-09 will also be appointed. The approval to domestic and international tour programmes will also be given in the meeting.
