Wasim Khan regrets his comments on media

E-Paper | May 04, 2026

LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief executive Wasim Khan on Monday expressed regrets about his recent comments regarding some members of the media.

In a statement, the PCB official said, “On Saturday [June 5] during an interview, I made some comments about some members of the media. On reflection, my selection of words and the tenor was inappropriate, which I regret. The continued and unending tirade against me based on my loyalty and commitment to Pakistan cricket took its toll on me.

“I look forward to building and strengthening my relationships with the media but also hope their assessment, analysis and scrutiny will be on my work, performance and contributions,” Wasim added in his statement.

He appears to be a dedicated professional. It takes courage to own up to one’s mistake or slip of tongue. PCB needs a CEO with such strength of character.

Wasim Khan is a foreign national hired by PCB at a hefty salary to improve nation's cricket. He can't treat our journos and media in a callous manner. This speaks volumes of his skill and ability. Mr. Khan should be kicked out to the country of citizenship. A son of soil like Wasim Akram or Rameez Raja must be given the position.
