Rameez Raja, Chief Executive of PCB, to hold a Press conference

Newly appointed Chief Executive of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Rameez Raja, will hold a Press conference at the Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday at 1400 hours. All the PCB accredited journalists are invited to attend the press conference.

Rameez Raja Wednesday replaced Chishty Mujahid who resigned last week because of domestic reasons.

Chishty Mujahid, a Masters in Law from Cambridge University, had taken over from Brig Munawwar Rana in August last year. He cited "domestic and health problems, and personal pressures" as reasons of his resignation.

In his letter to Lt Gen Tauqir Zia, Chishty Mujahid said: "May I take this opportunity of thanking you for your guidance, encouragement, support, assistance and indulgence throughout my tenure with the PCB. Any success in this venture I would entirely attribute to you."

"I would also like to thank all my colleagues at the board for their untiring efforts and complete cooperation during my stay. I wish Pakistan cricket victories and glory, and you and your colleagues success and happiness, in future."

Lt Gen Tauqir said he would miss the presence of Chishty Mujahid whom he considered a well-wisher and an efficient person.

"You had informed me much earlier of your domestic difficulties. I would definitely be missing a gentleman, a well-wisher and an efficient person," he said
