PCB reverses decision to sack 55 employees
PCB CEO Wasim Khan says that the board retracted its decision on account of being a 'responsible organisation'.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has withdrawn its decision to terminate 55 staff members.
According to a press release issued, PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan admitted that the board has had issues with over-staffing but decided to reverse its decision to lay off its employees on account for being a "responsible organisation".
"The vast over-staffing that the current board has inherited remains a long-term sustainability issue for the PCB. Making changes is about timing and, on reflection, the process and communication needed to be better," he said.
