GILGIT-BALTISTAN: Former Pakistan cricket captain Shahid Afridi has dismissed the notion of becoming the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), stating that he could have pursued the role had he leveraged his influence and connections.
Speaking to the media in Gilgit-Baltistan, Afridi reflected on the responsibilities of the PCB chairman, acknowledging that the current Pakistan cricket team boasts several match-winners. However, he made it clear that he did not seek the position for personal gain.
“It wouldn’t suit me if I went to the PCB and asked them to make me the next Chairman. I don’t even need a contract from the PCB. If I ever join, it will be for Pakistan and the players, because I want to work at the grassroots level,” Afridi said.
