PCB to reopen registration portal following requests from number of cricket clubs

The Pakistan Cricket Board has agreed to reopen the registration portal following requests from a number of cricket clubs who had missed their registration in the first phase. The registration portal will reopen for seven days from 0900 on Thursday, 22 April to 1700 on Wednesday, 28 April.

In the first phase of the registration, which ran from March 10 to April 8, nearly 3,807 clubs had applied. This was a 22 per cent increase in the last club registration process that ran prior to the introduction of the new PCB Constitution in August 2019. 

The clubs which had missed the registration can apply through an online form which is available on the PCB’s website. The registration fee is PKR5,000, which can be deposited online at any branch of Faysal Bank or MCB Bank.

Only the president of the club holding a valid CNIC and a functional e-mail address of the club, can apply for this registration process. Upon successful verification of the applications, the presidents will then get another online link on the registered e-mail address where they will enter the remaining data relating to categories of membership and players. The clubs whose applications fail the verification process will be given the reasons. 

Currently, there are three membership categories: Affiliate, Associate and Full, with the last two having voting rights for their respective City Cricket Associations.
