The Islamabad High Court has upheld the suspension of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohammad Zaka Ashraf until an interim PCB chairman is named to represent the board in the International Cricket Council's (ICC) annual conference in London later this month.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Zaka Ashraf might step down or could be told by President Asif Ali Zardari to resign in the next few days following the dismal show of the team in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2013.
Former captain Rashid Latif has said that he would challenge the manner in which Zaka Ashraf was elected Pakistan Cricket Board chairman under the new constitution by filing a petition in the High Court.
PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf will enjoy absolute power under the recently-amended constitution of the Pakistan Cricket Board, the country's media has reported.
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari announced an award of Rs 5,00,000 to the highest Pakistani run-scorers in each of the three cricket matches won by the country's cricket team in India.
Reports about Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari visiting India to witness a cricket match between the two countries are "all rumours", the presidential spokesman on Sunday.
President Asif Zardari inaugurated an international standard cricket stadium in memory of his late wife and former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Pakistan's former captain Rashid Latif went to court Wednesday, demanding sweeping reforms to the national cricket governing body including the election rather than appointment of officials.

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on Wednesday wrote to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh saying that he hopes the resumption of Indo-Pak cricketing ties would become a "formidable confidence-building measure" adding to the "positive atmosphere" in bilateral relations.
When Zaka Ashraf took over as Pakistan cricket chief in October last year his highest-priority tasks were to resume suspended home international matches and revive ties with arch-rivals India.
