Governor Baligh Ur Rehman administered the oath of new Punjab cabinet members at the Governor House in Lahore.

Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi made the appointment as part of an 11-person caretaker cabinet following the dissolution of the provincial assembly, which marked the end of Pervez Elahi’s six-month-long tenure as the Punjab CM.

Other members include: Bilal Afzal, SM Tanveer, Dr. Javed Akram, Ibrahim Murad, Dr. Jamal Nasir, Mansoor Qadir, Syed Azfar Ali Nasir and Amir Mir — took the oath, while three others — Wahab Riaz, Tamkinat Karim and Naseem Sadiq — were not present at the ceremony.

The 37-year-old is currently playing for Khulna Tigers in the ongoing Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) 2023.

The left-arm bowler has taken 237 wickets for Pakistan in 156 international games across all formats.
