Inspired by India's cricket reforms, PCB mulling massive overhaul including age-cap of 70 years

New Delhi: Certainly inspired by India's cricket reform, Pakistan Cricket Board is reportedly mulling to adopt age-cap of 70 years for its administrators.

"The board has now drawn up a shortlist of potential candidates all former test players who will be given assignments with the teams in future," a PCB source told PTI.

Indian cricket is in the midst of a massive overhaul after Supreme Court directed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to adopt the recommendations made by Justice Lodha panel, including the application of age-gap of 70 years for its administrators.

Interestingly enough, the PCB is currently headed by 82-year-old Shaharyar Khan.

Besides, the PCB is planning to assign dedicated coaches for A and junior teams, and have listed a number former players for the responsibilities.

The report claimed that list of former players who will now be appointed as managers of various teams include Iqbal Qasim, Haroon Rasheed, Talat Ali, Moin Khan, Jalaluddin, Nadeem Khan, Iqbal Sikander.

India have seen a spurt in talented youngsters and the credit has been given the BCCI's brilliant plan to harness young talents. For example, the availability of batting great Rahul Dravid as the junior coach has been hailed by everyone.

Pakistan, meanwhile, have just witnessed a Test series whitewash in Australia and lost vital ranking points even as India continued to remain buoyant after defeating England.
