Five out of seven members of the Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) board of governors (BoG) on Wednesday presented a resolution declaring the appointment of Wasim Khan as managing director as "null and void" — a development that PCB Chairperson Ehsan Mani deemed "hugely" disappointing.

"Appointment of managing director [Wasim Khan] along with the creation of the unconstitutional post of MD PCB is hereby declared null and void," read a copy of the resolution, which they wanted to be adopted during today's board meeting.

The tabled resolution, however, could not be passed as the meeting was adjourned due to an incomplete quorum.

Additionally, according to the resolution, any move to abolish departments or regions in the process of restructuring domestic cricket was also rejected and termed as "unacceptable".

As per the resolution, the members of the BoG called for a domestic cricket restructuring committee (DCRC) within the next ten days. They added that it should consist of four members representing all four regions "with a departmental representation" and called for it to be presented during the next meeting of the BoG scheduled to be held on April 30.

'Completely unreasonable': Mani

Separately on Wednesday, the cricket board issued a press release announcing that the board of governors meeting, held in Quetta for the first time, had been adjourned due to an incomplete quorum.

According to the press release, the meeting began but was "adjourned for a brief period pursuant to five members attempting to table a resolution, which was not part of the agenda", adding that : "The PCB Chairperson had proposed any business other than the agenda could be considered under Any Other Items at the end of the meeting."

PCB Chairperson Ehsan Mani said that he was "hugely disappointed" by the events adding that he was looking forward to an "interactive, productive and constructive discussion, which was aimed at taking Pakistan cricket forward"."

Later, while speaking to the media in Quetta, Mani said that the recommendations of the BoG members were "completely unreasonable".

He said that their recommendations had previously been approved but today they had changed their position.

"We will look at what they want," the PCB chief said, adding: "There are no two ways about this, we need to fix Pakistani cricket."

'No place for an MD'

Nauman Butt, a member of the BoG, told reporters that they had reviewed the constitution of the cricket board and found that there was no place for a managing director.

He said that the constitution had clearly stated that the chairperson was to be the chief executive officer, which was followed by the position of the chief operating officer.

According to Butt, the board members had not taken part in any boycott; instead, he said, that they had passed the resolution and presented it during the meeting.

The board member said that they had rejected the agenda of the PCB, which was "against the vision of the prime minister".

"We will not take any step that is against the vision of the [PCB] constitution," he added.
