“I welcome the newly-appointed independent members, especially Ms. Alia Zafar, the first female independent member, which is a giant step forward in enhancing the PCB’s governance structure,” PCB chairman Ehsan Mani said.

“The four new members bring with them a wealth of diverse knowledge that will only improve the professional outlook and working of the PCB.” In the PCB’s new constitution last year, it has been made mandatory to include at least one woman among the four elected.
