Lahore – January 2, 2017: The Chairman PCB, Sheharyar Mohammad Khan, has relieved Basit Ali from his duties in regard to the Women's Team and Junior Teams.
The Chairman's decision came after he had separate meetings with Basit Ali and Mahmood Hamid in Karachi following an alleged brawl between the two. Although the two had reconciled, Basit Ali admitted to an intent to physically harm Mahmood Hamid.
The Chairman has accordingly withdrawn Basit Ali from the currently sensitive assignments with the woman's and junior teams.
However, the Chairman has noted that there would be no general ban on Basit Ali's future coaching assignments with PCB or other teams.
