Shahryar Khan also held a meeting with Najam Sethi, Chief of PCB Governing Body today, sources added.
He said, “If things improve with my resignation I am ready to step down.”
Sources said, PCB chief decided to step down after a special committee tasked to find the reasons behind Pakistan's disappointing performance in the World Twenty20 tournament submits its recommendations to the country's cricket chief.
Having started with a bang in the WT20 tournament by thrashing Bangladesh, Pakistan lost their next three games against India, New Zealand and Australia to crash out of the tournament at the first hurdle.
The country's top cricket officials are probing into the causes behind the team’s catastrophic performance in the World Twenty20 championship and the preceding Asia Cup in Bangladesh.
