Karachi, Sep 29: Pakistan's top banker Ali Reza has reportedly emerged as a possible candidate to take over as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman following speculations that Ijaz Butt might not get a contract extension.
"Yes there is some substance to these rumours, but nothing is decided as yet and the President has yet to take a decision on this issue. But Ali Reza's name is being considered for the top cricket post," a source told the Nation.
"Everything will be clear by next week because by that time it will be known who will represent Pakistan at the International Cricket Council (ICC) Executive Board meeting on October 8 and 9th," the source added.
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, patron of the PCB, had appointed Butt as the chairman in October 2008.
He has been involved in several controversies during his tenure, presiding over Pakistan during a time when security concerns-including a shooting incident involving the Sri Lankan tour bus-stripped the country of several international fixtures. (ANI)
