At this meeting, it was decided to do away with the Pakistan Junior League and to bring back the junior series on a home-and-away basis in order to create a path for young cricketers who are capable of playing at a high level.
According to a statement released by the board, the PCB Management Committee recently held an in-depth discussion on the topic of bringing the PCB Constitution 2014 back in line with the functioning of the Regional and District Cricket Associations as well as the Departments and Service Organizations.
Following a series of in-depth discussions, it was announced that Regional and District Cricket Associations as well as Departments and Service Organizations have been reinstated. At this point, a strategic plan will be formulated to include these entities formally in the domestic cricket structure, including participation in the PCB Board of Governors in due course. Moreover, the restoration of these entities has been hailed as a success.
