Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi stated that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency will submit findings on the Mohammad Rizwan and Imam-ul-Haq probe within days. The NCCIA requires additional clarity from Rizwan before finalising the report, according to comments Naqvi made to media in Lahore on Thursday. Both cricketers face investigation following Pakistan’s 0-3 Test series defeat against England over allegations that confidential dressing room information was leaked during the tour.

The PCB permitted both players to return to domestic cricket while the inquiry continues. Naqvi confirmed he spoke directly with the NCCIA regarding the timeline but declined to provide an exact deadline for submission. The remaining steps focus specifically on Rizwan’s input. Full details of the ongoing process were reported by Times of India.

Central Contracts Announcement Delayed Beyond July Expiry

Pakistan’s new central contracts remain unannounced three months after the previous agreements expired on 31 July. Naqvi addressed the delay directly, revealing that the selection process reached its final stage during his media interaction. The PCB chairman indicated the contracts would be finalised imminently, stating the paperwork was either complete or would conclude by the following day.

The extended gap without active central contracts leaves player administrative status unresolved while the board completes internal approvals. No specific player names or contract categories were disclosed during the update.

Financial Viability of Pakistan Super League Franchises Addressed

Naqvi responded to reports of financial challenges facing the Pakistan Super League by citing recent franchise transactions. The PCB chairman referenced the sale amounts involved in new franchise acquisitions and the Multan Sultans deal as evidence of commercial interest. Naqvi maintained that team owners should not expect immediate financial returns from their investments.

Franchise owners must approach PSL investment with a long-term outlook and proper financial planning, according to the PCB chairman. Naqvi added that owners seeking to exit remain free to sell their teams provided they follow established league regulations. Feasibility assessments should have been completed before joining the tournament, he noted.

Administration Support and Upcoming Player Development Timeline

The PCB chairman expressed confidence in the personnel managing Pakistan cricket administration. Naqvi committed to continuing support for the current management structure overseeing the national setup. The board expects improved on-field performances once the next group of young players becomes available.

Naqvi projected a six-month timeline for emerging talent to reach readiness for higher-level competition. The PCB leadership anticipates better results when this new batch of players integrates into the system, though no specific names or domestic tournaments were identified as selection pathways during the statement.
