PCB announces new policy regarding managers

“Yes, it was a fault at the PCB end that it has not adopted any clear policy in allowing the players to hire their agents/managers. But now the deficiency has been removed by binding the players in this regard,” PCB chairman Ijaz Butt said in a press conference.

The players’ agent Mazhar Majeed, the central character in a nasty spot-fixing saga in England involving Pakistan players, has been allegedly found involved in the scam as a bookie.

“The same Mazhar Majeed was also the agent of Inzamam-ul-Haq and he has been working with the players since long time,” the chairman said.

But when asked if the Pakistan team management and the PCB officials were not aware about Mazhar’s activities, he said ironically nothing was done in the past in this regard but now steps had been taken to ensure the boys would be put under vigilant control.

Later, the PCB also issued a press release which says: Procedure for Registration & Clearance of Player Agent/ Manager.

“The Following procedure is to be followed by all players wishing to engage agents/ managers. No Pakistani cricketer who is selected for any squad for local and international teams will be allowed to engage any agent/manager without the prior written approval of the PCB. Failure to comply with these instructions will result in the player being declared ineligible for selection in any of the domestic and international cricketing events under the control of PCB.”

The procedure is as follows:

1.The agent/manager wishing to get clearance should apply in writing to the PCB giving details of players they wish to represent, the scope of representation, terms of contract with players, and their own background data to the PCB for approval.

2. PCB will forward this information to the concerned High Commissioner/Ambassador of Pakistan in the country to which the agent belongs for their checking and approval. Only after receipt of this approval, PCB will accord a go-ahead to the agent/player. In case of agent/manager based in Pakistan, local law enforcement authority will provide clearance of the said agent/manager
