Karachi: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) while rejecting a request of Dr. Mohammed Ali Shah, President KCCA for exempting him from the PCB laws and allow him to take part in the elections, has disqualified him and imposed ban on his taking part in the elections of Karachi City Cricket Association (KCCA) scheduled to be held in the last week of this month. In this connection PCB has issued a formal letter to Dr. Shah.
The letter which was received by Dr. Shah on Tuesday said that under the rules of PCB no MPA,MNA.minister or government functionary can hold offices of the PCB’s district, regional and provincial set-ups. Under this rule, the present KCCA president, Dr M.A Shah can not hold any office in the BCP as he is MPA and minister in the Sindh government..
The PCB informed Dr. Shah that the request for exemption has been rejected because there is no provision in the PCB law to accommodate his request.
This letter of PCB may also create hurdle for all those including Sirajul Islam Bukhari, who had been continuously being elected as secretary of KCCA likely to be hurt.
Commenting on the latest PCB letter, Sirajul Islam Bukhari said that the letter will not affect the status of candidates presently contesting the elections. He said if Dr, Shah is affected, an alternative candidate will be fielded in his place.
When tried, Dr. Shah could not be contacted as his office and relatives said that he is indisposed for the last few days.
