After being part of Pakistan cricket for twenty five years, Subhan Ahmed has stepped down as the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Chief Operating Officer (COO) after nine years in the role, the Board of Governors were informed during their 56th meeting on Saturday.

“After more than twenty-five years with the PCB, it is an appropriate time for me to move on,” said Subhan Ahmad in a statement.

“It has been a wonderful journey and an honour to represent the PCB at international forums as well as to contribute in the PCB’s transformation from a semi-professional to a thoroughly professional and one of the best-performing organisations of the country,” he added.

Meanwhile, PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani praised Subhan for his services rendered to the PCB and said that the board would continue to with him and ‘on specific projects.’

“Over the past so many years, he was at the forefront when the PCB made changes to how it operated and negotiated lucrative commercial deals to ensure the sport continues to remain healthy and thrive in Pakistan. In this background, it is sad to see him depart.

“Subhan will reflect on his time at the PCB with a lot of pride as the organisation came out of age during his watch and earned the reputation as one of the most respected cricket bodies in the world. That is his legacy and an inspiration for all those who are or will serve this great institution in years to come,” said Mani.
