ISLAMABAD, Dec 2: Senator Muhammad Enver Baig alleged that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was deliberately wasting time and not responding to questions put to them by the Senate Standing Committee on Sports.

"We still do not know what perks and privileges coach Bob Woolmer and his gang are enjoying and there is still no sign of the constitution," Enver said on Thursday. The PCB chief, he said had first promised that the new constitution would be finalised by the end of August.

"Then again a new October date was given but nothing happened; now we are in the month of December and the PCB is still sitting on it." "We also need to know who were the actual beneficiaries of tickets worth million of rupees for the India series which were set aside by the PCB and later shown under vague heads."

Enver, was particularly furious after a Dec 4 meeting of the committee that was to discuss cricketing matters with the PCB officials, was postponed. He reiterated that PCB chairman Shahryar M. Khan be removed from the post and a thorough professional be appointed in his place. "If cricket is to be cleaned up, we have to start from the top."
