LAHORE, June 20: The Senate’s privilege committee will consider a motion moved by the Senator Mohammad Enver Baig against the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Dr Nasim Ashraf in Islamabad on Thursday at 11:00am.

The chairman of the privilege committee Syed Tahir Hussain Mashhadi will chair the meeting where the PCB chief will also appear.

Enver, in his motion, had alleged that Dr Nasim had called him ‘sick mind’ person at a press conference.

The prominent members of the privilege committee are Wasim Sajjad, Asfandyar Wali Khan, Raza Rabbani, Kamil Ali Agha, Naeem Hussain Chattha, Abdul Razzak A. Thahim and Dr Mohammad Ismail Buledi. Dr Sher Afgan Khan Niazi, a federal minister, is also an ex officio member of the committee.

The privilege committee meeting was to be held on June 28, but as the PCB chairman is to go to London to attend an ICC meeting on June 24, the meeting was rescheduled on Wednesday for Thursday.

The PCB chairman had also requested to change the requisite meeting of the Senate Standing Committee on Sports, which is scheduled to be held on June 26. But the chairman of the committee Chaudhry Zafar Iqbal had refused to change the date of the meeting, since it is a requisite meeting.

It is likely the PCB chairman will nominate any official to represent him in the requisite meeting with all information the senators have asked for.
