      <title>Zaka Ashraf given three months extension</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30339326/zaka-ashraf-given-three-months-extension</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Interim Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar has given a three-month extension to the Pakistan Cricket Board Management Committee Chairman Zaka Ashraf.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The committee would hold elections within three months, according to the notification issued by the Inter-Provincial Coordination Ministry on Saturday.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ashraf heads the 10-member management committee.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ashraf-led PCB Management Committee was formed in July 2023 for a four-month period, and the caretaker PM, using his prerogative as patron of the PCB, has given a three-month extension, said the PCB.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The development comes a day after caretaker PM Kakar said that a &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30339220/decision-on-zaka-ashrafs-future-as-pcb-chief-will-be-taken-after-world-cup-kakar"&gt;decision&lt;/a&gt; regarding Ashraf’s future as the PCB chief would be taken after the World Cup.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kakar’s announcement came hours after the national cricket team &lt;a href="https://www.aajenglish.tv/news/30339250/world-cup-pakistan-still-in-the-run-for-semi-final-after-beating-new-zealand"&gt;won against New Zealand in a rain-hit match in the World Cup&lt;/a&gt;, keeping hopes alive for going into the semi-final stage of the event.&lt;/p&gt;
