Shaharyar Khan, a notable figure in Pakistan cricket, has passed away at the age of 89. Khan, who served as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) during two separate terms, from 2003 to 2006 and then from 2014 to 2017, was celebrated for his significant contributions to the sport, including his role in restoring cricket ties with India in the early 2000s. His career as a diplomat and cricket administrator was marked by his efforts to bridge gaps between India and Pakistan through cricket, highlighted by the path-breaking tour of India in 1999. Khan, who was also the last prince of Bhopal State and a refined intellectual, authored several books on history and cricket, including a collaboration with Shashi Tharoor on “Shadows Across the Playing Field,” which explores the history of India-Pakistan cricket from Partition to 2009. He was also the manager of the Pakistan team on notable occasions, remembered as a sophisticated man. His passing has prompted tributes, with prayers for his soul to rest in peace.
