**Ashraf resigns as PCB chairman **
Osman Samiuddin
August 18, 2008
Nasim Ashraf, the chairman of the PCB, has resigned from his post on the same day that the patron of the board, Pervez Musharraf, resigned from the presidency.
Former president Musharraf was a resolute backer of Ashraf and it had been widely speculated over the last few weeks that Ashraf would step down when Musharraf did. Ashraf has sent in his resignation to the Presidency House, from where it has to be accepted, before he can officially step down.
Ashraf took over as chairman of the board in October 2006, replacing Shaharyar Khan and presided over one of the most tumultuous periods in the history of Pakistan cricket.

Mr Ashraf will no doubt have more time to spend on his other interests and he certainly looks very happy:

Board u-turns under DNA
Mushtaq Ahmed: Soon after coming to power, sacked Mushtaq as assistant coach, citing Justice Qayyum report that pointed to his links with match-fixing. Re-hired him soon after for World Cup 2007
General staff: Sacked 80 PCB staff, and then promptly re-hired them
Doping tribunal: Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif were banned after they were found guilty of using steroids, only for the decision to be overturned within a month despite both admitting usage, after an appellate tribunal was set up
Constitution: Promised PCB’s constitution would be ready within a month of his appointment. Changed the date three times, and kept on extending it until it was finally ready in January 2008, some 14 months after the original promise
Resignation: Handed in his resignation during World Cup 2007, withdrew it about a week later after it was rejected by the patron
Foreign coach: Said specifically after World Cup 2007 in a press conference that no foreign coach would be appointed for Pakistan. Appointed Geoff Lawson a few months later
Younis Khan: Said, after Younis Khan had turned down the captaincy, that he would not be made captain again. Yet for Pakistan’s tour to India in end-2007, personally appointed Younis vice-captain - he became captain when Shoaib Malik got injured.
ICL: Announced no player in the ICL would be allowed to play for Pakistan or in Pakistan domestic cricket. Except Inzamam-ul-Haq, who was allowed to play a one-off Test as farewell and reportedly given a Rs 1 crore golden handshake for it
ICL, mark II: Announced Rana Naved-ul-Hasan and Mushtaq would not be given NOCs to play county cricket because of their ICL links. Yet both were given one soon after
ICL, mark III: Promised Mohammad Yousuf that he would play in the IPL, having paid him to come out of his ICL contract. Currently the matter is stuck in legal limbo forcing Yousuf to miss the first season of both leagues
Shoaib Akhtar: The board stated publicly that Shoaib didn’t have to pay any fine in order play in the Champions Trophy, only to then say three days later that actually he does
This looked the most interesting in the whole piece:
“During the Asia Cup a minor controversy broke because the PCB forgot to put up India’s flag at the National Stadium in Karachi.”
Zero, rejoice, forgot the mqm slogans, just rejoice! nasim ashraf is no more the chief! this is good news for PCB.
