In an interesting exercise, the PCB held a one-day seminar to look at the current state of cricket in Pakistan. While many of the names were there, Imran Khan, Miandad, Aamir Sohail, Wasim Akram and Moin Khan were not there, and their presence could have provided some more fireworks at the event.
Perhaps the only real consensus there was over ensuring that the PCB runs on a more democratic setup, and there is greater support for the domestic system. Majid Khan raised a very interesting point, that Pakistan, Bangladesh and Zimbabwe are the only nations in international cricket (what august company!), where the domestic system has not been stable for the last many years. Although Dr. Ashraf, the new PCB head, has said he takes this issue seriously, only time will tell if that is true or not. As all fans of Pakistani cricket know, change never happens in the world of the PCB.
