  • PCB Highlights 1 April – 30 June 5Th Edition
    PCB Highlights 1 April – 30 June 5th Edition PCB to spend PKR5.29billion on cricket in 2020-21 season The Board of Governors of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) held their second meeting of the year via a videoconference in which they approved a PKR7.76billion operating expenditure budget for the 2020-21 fiscal year. This was a 10 per cent reduction from the 2019-20 fiscal year as the PCB continued its austerity drive as part of its financial management exercise. While budgets were reduced in other functional areas, there was no reduction in cricket-related activities as the PCB committed to spending PKR5.29billion on cricket over the next 12 months. This includes PKR1.8billion in High Performance, PKR1.4bil- lion on international cricket, PKR1.4billion on HBL Pakistan Super League 2021, PKR109million on Medical and Sports Sciences, PKR411million on women’s cricket and PKR39million on disabled cricket. The High Performance has the biggest budget as it incorporates domestic cricket expenses as following restructuring, the acade- mies and domestic cricket have been brought under one umbrella. This cost includes players/match officials/curator contracts, domestic events and their prize moneys and academy programmes. The following is the department-wise breakdown of the 2020-21 budget: Departments 2020-21 budget (PKR) Another significant approval by the BoG was of the PCB Code of Ethics, first time Administration 274,626,961 that the PCB has introduced this code as Commercial 232,395,000 part of its good governance practices and Disabled cricket 39,500,000 in line with Article 44(d) of the PCB Election and Scrutiny 36,520,000 Constitution 2019.

New Zealand Cricket chief executive David White said Stead’s reappointment followed a successful pe- riod for the Black Caps which has seen them reach number two in the Test rankings and three in one- dayers. “Winning an away Test series against Pakistan and a Test in Sri Lanka was a tremendous effort, as were the home Test series wins against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, England and India,” he said. “We had no hesitation, after going through quite a process, in extending his contract.” White also praised the conduct of the team under Stead, particularly after they reached the 2019 World Cup final but lost to England on a technicality after the scores were tied. “To tie the World Cup final and miss out on win- ning the trophy through a countback was a gut- wrenching experience,” he said. “But I think we can all agree on how well the team played during that campaign and, equally, how well they conducted themselves afterwards.” Stead said it was “an honour and privilege” to be involved with the team. “I was motivated to keep working with the team, I’ve still got a lot of energy and feel I can continue to offer something,” he said.
