Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has questioned the credibility of the figures acting as an advisor to Mohsin Naqvi, while he has also questioned his service in a double role in the Government of Pakistan and the Pakistan cricket team.
Mohsin Naqvi’s stars are not in his favor, as the Asia Cup 2025 ended with the Indian team’s trophy and medal. The chief has received widespread criticism from all over the world, and now he has been slammed within his own nation by former star cricketers as well as other administrators.
BCCI has vowed to take Mohsin Naqvi to ICC
The BCCI has held Mohsin Naqvi accountable for conduct at the presentation ceremony after the final match of the Asia Cup. Naqvi withdrew the PCB chair in 2024, but has taken care of a rocky transition period.
The PCB chief is currently the President of the Asian Cricket Council; However, India refused to take a trophy with its hand, marching their statements and honors of the nation against India.
Mohsin Naqvi went out of the field with a trophy in his hand, and therefore, the BCCI, who has not found any clarity on the issue, has vowed to take it to the ICC to resolve the issues around the trophy row.
Shahid Afridi questioned the dual role of Mohsin Naqvi in ​​Pakistan administration
Along with the dual role, he works in the Pakistan cricket team along with the Government of Pakistan, there has been an increase in claims that Mohsin Naqvi should leave one of these roles so that the PCB can be handled with a total focus, either by himself or by a new appointment.
One of the most famous voices to ask for this change is Shahid Afridi, with the role of NQVI, especially NQVI with the former Pakistan captain and advisors with PCB.
“My request or advice to Naqvi Saheb is that these are two very important posts, and are big jobs that need time.” “PCB is completely different from the internal ministry, so it should be kept separate.”
Shahid Afridi asks for the appointment of competent advisors
Shahid Afridi admitted that it is not an easy step to make, yet it is still something that should be given priority by Pakistan cricket at present. Mike Hessen’s recent growth has helped Pakistan reach the Asia Cup final, and therefore, it will provide a view of how to operate easily within the board.
“This will be a big decision and it should be taken as soon as possible. Pakistan cricket requires special attention and time … NaqVi cannot fully rely on advisors,” All-round Great explained.
“Advisors are not taking him anywhere, and he himself says that he does not know much about cricket. He needs to appoint good and competent advisors who know about the game,” Afridi concluded, concluding his thoughts that where he believes that Pakistan cricket needs to go ahead.
