Lt Gen (Retd) Tauqir Zia, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has announced his resignation. His resignation has been accepted by the patron of the board, Pervez Musharraf. The resignation came in the wake of a dispute over television rights between Pakistan Television (PTV) and GEO TV, a Dubai-based company.
More details to follow.

Where did that come from??
just read it on JANG…
first time I have seen some Pakistani top level official taking responsibility and resigning...
by the way I heard it long time back that we wanted to Resign form this Job, but Mussaraf asked him to continue.. :)
how good is this news for Pakistani Cricket? Just qrius..
what is the procedure as to who is going to be the next chairman? or it just works on the whims and fancies of the patron?
Aamir Sohail got him.
I don think Aamir got him. To me he just got sick n tired of playing poilitics. I think he had enough
with Zia leaving, Aamir may be the next one to leave, either resignation or shown the door..

Aaap kee Dua Qabool hoo..
rotti, kapra or makaan, Imran Khan. Imran Khan. 
I suck at rhyming stuff. Someone come up with a better slogan for Imran Khan. :o
What concerns me is not the departure of Zia but who will replace him and will it lead to further turmoil within PCB.
Ehsan bhai, what about Gen. Muneer Hafeez :)?
Imran Khan,, aaway hee aaway. :D.

I think Musharraf wants him to stay as head of the accountability board. However, if he does become head of PCB, KK's voice will be heard at the cricket headquarters. :)
I dont think imran will accept this position.
Lets see now the selectors select joniur zia or not ?
I am so glad Wasim Akram has not been held responsible :D
His natural successor should be Ramiz, he has done a magnificent job.
I wouldn't want anyone other then Ramiz.
Kamina Amir Sohail has to go rather than Tauqeer Zia. I wonder who is at the back of Amir Sohail?
Tauqeer Zia has done lot of good to Pakistani cricket but made only mistake of making Amir Sohail, chief selector.
He has recommanded Ramiz Raja as his successor :k:
Our information minister should have resigned due to the tussle b/w Geo and PTV. The only other person that should have gone was Amir Sohail, but I sincerely hope that whoever is next kill kick Amir's butt at the very next opportunity.
I agree with Decent, Tauqir Zia has done a lot of good like restructuring domestic cricket, concept of Cricket Academy.....
