Faisal Hasnain named Pakistan cricket boss

Hasnain will replace Wasim Khan, who quit as PCB chief executive in September after New Zealand and England abandoned their limited-overs tours to Pakistan.

"Faisal is a familiar figure in world cricket and is highly regarded, respected and trusted for his excellence in corporate governance, financial management and commercial acumen," PCB chairman Ramiz Raja said in a statement.

Hasnain has also served as managing director of Zimbabwe Cricket. 

He was involved in the sale of ICC's commercial rights for the 2007-2015 and 2016-2023 commercial cycles.

Hasnain said he will be aiming to strengthen PCB's relationship with existing partners, the ICC and other cricket boards.

"These are highly exciting times in Pakistan cricket and I look forward to working very closely with my colleagues at the PCB so that we can collectively further enhance the image, reputation and profile of this great institution," Hasnain said.
