Ever since cronies and political appointees started getting made heads of sports bodies and organizations, Pakistan’s performance on the field and at key international tournaments like the Olympics has declined. We have witnessed large numbers of sports officials accompanying players to international events, enjoying free junkets. Funds should only be spent on players, their training and upkeep etc, instead of on officials.
Appointment of retired officers to head these organizations has not benefited sports. There should also be zero-tolerance for those involved in irregularities. Sports organizations should be headed by professionals with integrity, appointed based on merit.
