Cricket scrutiny panel completes its work

LAHORE, June 15: The scrutiny committee, formed to weed out
bogus clubs from all over the country, has completed its work
but was unable to proceed further due to a snag.
A reliable source told this correspondent that the committee had
completed its job four months ago. When the stage of
implementation of its findings came, it came to light that an
amendment in the PCB constitution was required to move further.
The PCB wrote to the Federal Sports Ministry in February this
year to permit the necessary amendment so that the
recommendations of the scrutiny committee could be incorporated.
That will pave the way for fresh elections of the PCB council.
However, the instructions from the Ministry are still being
awaited.
The PCB had constituted the scrutiny committee under
Major-General (retd.) Muhammad Safdar in December, 1994. It
visited all places of the country to verify the genuineness of
various clubs. The committee completed its painstaking job in
more than two years and finalised its findings. The long wait is
now delaying its implementation.
