Ehsan Mani has been elected as the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) unopposed for a term of three years, it was announced on Tuesday. Mani will succeed Najam Sethi, who stepped down from the role on August 21.
Former ICC President Mani was widely tipped to take the top spot following Sethi’s exit, and will assume position as PCB chairman with immediate effect.
