PSL director, head of women's cricket step down from PCB roles

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that Pakistan Super League (PSL) Director Sohaib Sheikh and head of women's cricket Tania Mallick have stepped down from their roles.

Chief Operating Officer PCB Salman Naseer has regarded Sohaib Sheikh and Tania Mallick as "key members" of the management team of the board. 

“Sohaib Sheikh and Tania Mallick were key members of the PCB management team, making meaningful contributions to our progress as an organisation," he said. 

"Sohaib was part of the core team that launched the PSL in 2016, successfully delivering four seasons, and he returned to produce another high-quality event earlier this year," Naseer said. 

“Tania worked with dedication to uplift women’s cricket in Pakistan, making strides at the grassroots level to expand the pool of players. Alongside PCB’s ongoing support, her efforts were recognised internationally by the ICC, where she served as one of the two Full Member representatives on the ICC Women’s Committee," Naseer added.

It is to be noted that Sohaib rejoined the cricket body 13 months ago after previously serving the organisation from 2016 to 2019, while Tania began her tenure at the Gaddafi Stadium in October 2021.

The PCB has extended best wishes for both the individuals.
