Wasim Khan (MBE)

CEO of the Pakistan Cricket Board

Wasim Khan’s cricketing career has taken a pathway of transitions. From being one of the first British-born Pakistanis to play professional county cricket in the UK (for Warwickshire), where he rubbed shoulders with the likes of Dermot Reeve, Brian Lara and Allan Donald, to name but a few, he then became CEO of the cricketing charity Chance to Shine. After taking up the reins as CEO of Leicestershire, then being linked with the ECB Director of Cricket role vacated by Andrew Strauss, Wasim moved his family from Leicester to Lahore, where he is now CEO of the Pakistan Cricket Board. In this wide-ranging and open interview, Wasim discusses the ups and downs of his playing career, phone calls with the Governor of the Bank of England, meetings with the Queen, the political nature of Pakistan Cricket and the potential impact of Covid-19 on the cricketing world.
