Ramiz Raja, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said that cricket nurseries in the country will have permanent importance under him. On Friday, Raja had a meeting with Chairpersons and Chief Executives of the First Boards at the National High-Performance Centre, where he shared his vision revolving around grassroots cricket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"The grassroots level deserves attention as it has been a neglected field for years, resulting in marginalising our growth canvas. Under my watch, cricket nurseries will have permanent importance," said Raja in a statement by PCB on Saturday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the meeting, Raja emphasised the quick resumption of schools and club activities as well as infrastructure up-gradation so that the youngsters receive the best playing facilities and environment to display and demonstrate their talent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
"I acknowledge and appreciate the good work done at the provincial level by the First Boards and look forward to continuing to work collectively to bring a change to the Pakistan cricket landscape," concluded Raja.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
