In a press conference in Pakistan, Chahat Fateh Ali Khan said that if appointed as the new PCB chief, he would personally supervise player coaching sessions four days a week. He emphasized his plan to lead Pakistan cricket back to success.
"I am ready to get the PCB and the cricket team on the right track. If appointed chairman, I would personally oversee player performances and coaching four days a week. I will focus on discipline and will not tolerate any interference," Khan reportedly said at a presser while promoting his film.
"I am not criticising Naqvi. I just want him to consider my offer. As he is also the interior minister with significant responsibilities, I believe he should delegate the PCB chairmanship to me. This is no disrespect to Mohsin Naqvi but it's not for him," he added.
Pakistan's T20 World Cup 2024 campaign came to an abrupt end with their one group stage match (vs Ireland) remaining. After losing back-to-back two matches, Pakistan won their third group A match against Canada.
The 'Men in Green' were eliminated from Super 8 qualification race even before playing their final Group A match against Ireland.
Pakistan's chances of qualifying for Super-8 were dealt a blow when rain in Florida led to cancellation of Ireland vs USA match, granting USA team an extra point and confirming their place in the Super-8 stage. From Group A, India and USA are the two teams who have qualified for T20 World Cup Super 8 stage.
