The Pakistan Cricket Board on Tuesday dismissed all five masters, who were appointed with domestic teams during the inaugural edition of their Champions One-Day Cup, which included former Captain Waqar Yunis and Misbah ul Haq. Former captains Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik and Saklane Mushtaq were other patrons, which were assigned to each of the five competitive teams in a 50 -over competition. A source said that during a meeting with board officials, PCB President Mohsin Naqvi was informed about the performance of the bosses since his appointments last year.
The PCB had asked these former cricketers to work in certain number to work with their respective domestic teams to work as a guardian, while they were also allowed to take media roles and other assignments.
According to reports, these bosses were being paid a monthly salary of 5 million Pakistani rupees.
“Obviously, in briefing, the consensus was that the money spent on the bosses was not being justified because he had not given anything yet,” the source said.
The source said that those who attended the meeting were not happy with the fact that Malik insisted on playing Sialkot instead of playing in the National T20 Championship and focusing on his job as only a patron.
