The decision was taken on the orders of Naqvi after complaints of selection of over-age players and other issues.

Interestingly, the National junior, seen as the best platform for new talent, has still not been held this season.

There have also been reports of the domestic department cutting facilities for players in domestic cricket like termination of contracts and lowering hotel and travelling standards.

PCB sources claim that the expense cuts have been executed because of the increased domestic cricket events this season which were earlier not included in the budget.
