PM Imran is keen to implement the domestic cricket set up of Australia in Pakistan which has only six first class cricket teams competing. On the other hand, though, South Africa recently increased the number of teams in its domestic season to twelve provincial teams from the previous six, thus ending the franchises system. During the meeting, the PCB will also seek the permission of the BoG members to delegate all their powers to the newly-appointed managing director of the PCB Wasim Khan on the pretext that the new arrangement will help him deal with day to day affairs more comfortably.
It has been learnt that though the BoG members are not comfortable over the amendments being made in the domestic structure and the arrangement of delegating their powers to the MD, it may not be easy for them to resist the PCB hierarchy which appears to be quite strong. That said, some BoG members are likely to move court to seek justice if the PCB imposes the new amendments. Many former cricketers have already raised their voice against the proposed PCB plan of abolishing the departmental cricket. Though in the first attempt, the PCB has tried to get approval for the system of eight regional teams in first-class cricket and as many regional teams to play Grade-II the Prime Minister rejected it and asked the PCB officials to devise a six-team set-up.
