The petition, filed by Advocate Bilal Farooq, states the national cricket board is answerable to the nation viz-a-viz the courts and “owing to its present-day precarious operations is causing shame, disrepute and dishonour to the citizens of Pakistan”. The respondents of the petition are the prime minister, Ministry for Inter-Provincial Coordination, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the selection committee of the PCB. It also said that the court should look into the team selection procedure. The petition further prayed upon the court to summon Shoaib Akhtar, Rashid Latif and Muhammad Waseem for the assistance of the court.
