Mani's appointment comes after Najam Sethi offered his resignation as PCB chairman on Monday.
Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan has appointed Ehsan Mani as the new chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
"I have appointed Ehsan Mani as Chairman PCB. He brings vast and valuable experience to the job. He represented PCB in the ICC; was Treasurer ICC for 3 yrs and then headed the ICC for another 3 yrs," the newly elected Pakistan PM wrote on Twitter.
Mani's appointment comes after Najam Sethi offered his resignation as PCB chairman on Monday. Sethi who was elected for a second term in 2017 was to serve as the PCB boss until 2020.
In a tweet, the 70-year-old wrote: “I was waiting for the new Prime Minister to take oath before submitting my resignation as PCB Chairman, which I have done today. I wish PCB all the best and hope our cricket team goes from strength to strength. Eid Mubarak. Pakistan Zindabad.”
He wrote, “I was nominated to the Board of Governors of the Pakistan Cricket Board (as per the Pakistan Cricket Board Constitution of 2014 approved by the ICC and Supreme Court of Pakistan) by ex-Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from 2014-2017 and then again from 2017- 2020 by ex-Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.”
He was unanimously elected as the chairman of the board but at this point in time, he feels he has done his part for Pakistan cricket and it is time someone else takes over charge.
“I was unanimously elected Chairman PCB in August 2017 by all ten members of the BoG for a three-year term ending in 2020. I believe I have served the cause of cricket diligently,” Sethi added.
“You have said on many occasions that you have a vision for Pakistan cricket. Therefore it is only proper that you should assume charge and responsibility for assembling a management team for PCB that enjoys your full confidence and trust.
In order to facilitate your objectives in the interest of Pakistan cricket, I hereby submit toy resignation as Chairman of PCB and Member of its BoG,” he wrote.
