PCB appoints Usama Shahroon as acting Director of Domestic Cricket

Usama Shahroon is now acting Director of Domestic Cricket at the PCB, filling a role that's been vacant since Khurram Niazi left in April to join the Capital Development Authority.

Shahroon will manage day-to-day domestic operations while the board hunts for a permanent replacement. It's a position that carries real weight — the domestic structure feeds the pipeline for Pakistan's Test and ODI teams, and months without clear leadership can fracture schedules and planning.

The timing matters. With the next domestic season approaching, the PCB needed someone in the chair. Whether Shahroon becomes permanent or remains a placeholder will depend on how smoothly the board's broader search unfolds.
