In his speech, outgoing Chairman Ijaz Butt thanked the new Chairman and staff and said, “I would like to thank the President of Pakistan and Patron in Chief of PCB Asif Ali Zardari for his support throughout my term. I am sure that my friend and successor Zaka Ashraf will receive the same support. I would like to thank all the PCB Management and staff for diligently performing their duties in tough time. I hope that all of you will work with the same vigour and give the new Chairman the same support that you have shown me for the past three years”.
Ashraf said “I am grateful to Ijaz Butt for his valuable contribution to Pakistan Cricket”. The new Chairman paid tribute to Ijaz Butt for his services rendered for the Pakistan cricket.
“We have a huge challenge in front of us and as the Ex-Chairman has said, I will need your support so that we can work for the betterment of Pakistan Cricket. We have to work very hard to bring International Cricket back to Pakistan. We have to remove the negativity created because of the spot fixing trial and move forward. I would also like to recognize the Chairperson of the Women Wing Chairperson Bushra Aitazaz for her efforts to improve the Women’s game which have seen our Women Team grow from strength to strength. I wish Ijaz Butt all the best for the future”, said Ashraf.
Ashraf presented outgoing Chairman Ijaz Butt with a shield and a souvenir on behalf of the PCB in recognition of his services to Pakistan Cricket.
