Welcoming the appointment of the new CEO, PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said Hasnain is a familiar figure in world cricket and is highly regarded, respected, and trusted for his excellence in corporate governance, financial management and commercial acumen.
Meanwhile, the new CEO termed the appointment as a lifetime opportunity to serve Pakistan cricket. He also commended the PCB chairman and the Board of Governors for having confidence in his capabilities.
