Pakistani Cricket Boss Wants More Continuity in the System

Nearly a year into his tenure as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Shaharyar Khan talks to Wisden Cricinfo about his time in charge, the domestic game, Bob Woolmer and the future of Pakistan cricket.

Next month, you will complete a year as Board Chairman. How have you found the experience so far?

It’s been tough, but I have enjoyed it because I love the game. It poses so many different challenges. I realise that there is a flipside to it, and you get blamed for so many things – especially when the team is losing. You are the one who is guilty then, not the players, not anybody else. I take it in my stride and I try not to give it too much importance. There are a lot of a genuine people who know the game who appreciate the way things are.
