Scrutiny of Cricket Clubs in Districts Jamshoro and Dadu

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has been working to inculcate democratic governance into Pakistan's cricket-playing districts by first conducting scrutiny of cricket clubs in each district and then conducting elections there.

Scrutiny Process

The aim of the scrutiny process is to establish genuineness of cricket clubs in accordance with the criteria set out by PCB. The scrutiny of clubs is a laborious and time-consuming exercise as the Scrutiny Committee has to visit each tehsil and village of every district and evaluate cricketing activity there. The Committee makes a distinction between the active and non-active clubs and only active clubs are granted electoral rights.

The clubs which qualify from the scrutiny process are then eligible to participate in elections in their own districts. The clubs, under the supervision of PCB's Election Commission, elect a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer in each district to constitute an office-bearing body which would represent the district in all cricketing matters.

Scrutiny in Jamshoro and Dadu

The scrutiny of the cricket clubs of Districts Jamshoro and Dadu will be held from 12-18 November, 2006 as per the following schedule:

12-14 Nov, 2006 Scrutiny of clubs at Jamshoro

16-18 Nov, 2006 Scrutiny of clubs at Dadu

The Scrutiny Committee will comprise Abdul Jaleel Khan (Chairman), Intikhab Ahmad (Member) and Naeem Ahmad (Member).
