all of the above.
- it definitely shouldn’t be a political appointment by the zill-e-elahi of the time.
- I don’t agree with elections for this post - you need someone who will manage it without political shenanigans.
- doesn’t matter whether it stays under the umbrella of the sports ministry or not - as long as there is no interference from the ministry.
- most importantly, advertise the job and seek people with management experience. have interviews, etc like a proper job and pick the best candidate.
but for God’s sake don’t make Miandad the DG of cricket operations or whatever he is. he can be in the running for coach/selector, etc. but no management positions.
and don’t wait for Imran Khan or Nur Khan etc to come and fix everything like a prophet. I don’t get this fascination with Imran Khan. he was a legend on the field and captained the side very well. but what management experience does he have? his organizational abilities are pretty poor if you go by his political party. how’s he going to magically fix everything?
I think the ideal candidate would be a retired CEO or some senior manager of a big firm.
