Chairman PCB shared his vision with First Board officials
Earlier, Chairman, Pakistan Cricket Board Ramiz Raja had met the Chairpersons and Chief Executives of the First Boards here at the National High-Performance Centre, in which he shared his vision that revolved around grassroots cricket.
Ramiz emphasized the quick resumption of schools and club activities as well as infrastructure up-gradation so that the youngsters received the best playing facilities and environment to display and demonstrate their talent.
PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja said: “The grassroots cricket level tier deserves attention as it had been a neglected field for years, resulting in marginalizing our growth canvas.
