Federal minister

Pakistan Cricket Board: Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has taken on the additional role of Federal Minister for Interior and Narcotics Control. To assume the role, Naqvi will not give up his post in the PCB; instead, he will continue to lead the Pakistan board in parallel.

Naqvi's decision to retain his position as PCB chairman while assuming ministerial duties echoes his experience of multitasking between political and cricketing arenas. Just last month, amidst his election as PCB chairman, Naqvi was also serving as the caretaker chief minister of Punjab, Pakistan's largest province.

Addressing concerns about potential conflicts of interest, Naqvi emphasised that he will not draw a salary from his role in the Interior Ministry, aligning with the PCB's rules forbidding a chairman from holding an "office of profit" concurrently.
