The Ejaz Butt era is over

On Tuesday, 12 October 2011, cricket fans across Pakistan  heaved a sigh of relief as the circulating rumours about Ejaz Butt, chairperson of Pakistan Cricket Board, being given an extension were laid to rest. Butt’s three-year tenure had officially ended on 8 October and the official notice from the presidency confirmed that Butt would not be continuing his role at the PCB. He will be replaced by banker and industrialist Chaudhry Zaka Ashraf.
