Waqar Younis offers role of PCB Chairman to ex-India star, his reply leaves everyone stumped

Younis offers PCB Chairman's role to Jadeja

The Pakistan cricket team was eliminated from the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy without registering a single win in the group stage. The Men in Green ended up losing their first 2 matches of the tournament against New Zealand and India respectively before the match against Bangladesh was washed out.

With sackings and signings likely in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) following the team’s disastrous display, a fan suggested a foreign face to take up the PCB chairman’s role in the DP World Dressing Room.

“It’s the sort of position which invites a lot of attention. Press Conferences everyday, I doubt the board would be open to getting a foreign name onboard for the chairman’s role,” Wasim Akram said as a response to the question.

Following this, legendary Pakistan bowler Waqar Younis offered the role to ex-India batter Ajay Jadeja as he is a foreign person. Jadeja gave an epic reply to Waqar’s proposal.

“Wasim bhai ke bacche hain, mere bhi hain (Wasim Akram has kids, I do to…),” Jadeja said before breaking into laughter.

“The job has two aspects to it, the administrative aspect and the sporting aspect. They can be separated. Fans and the public aren’t interested in how much profit the board made, the stadiums developed. Fans and future players want to see how their cricket will develop,” Jadeja added.
