In a significant move, cricket has been separated from hockey and rugby and will be run by an independent board.
Qatar Rugby, Hockey and Cricket Board meeting held at the Lusail Hall in the QOC Headquarters on Thursday.
Sheikh Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has been appointed as the new President.
Khalid Saleh al Rumaihi is the Secretary-General. Assistant Secretary-General is Eisa Ali Ghanem, while two Board Members are Ibrahim Yousef Ibrahim Al Buenain and Mohammed Abdulla Al Meer.
The QCA board, under the new President Sheikh Abdulaziz, aims to start working on QCA’s own dream playing facilities. He feels this move will help the sport flourish further in Qatar and bring more international laurels.
Sheikh Abdulaziz is also focused on providing more international exposure to the national teams and taking the sport to a new level with the help of regular coaching at various levels.
The new board has planned to induct more technical hands so that it can make the grass-root coaching more professionalism.
Efforts will be made to create talent pools to give more depth to the senior teams with an eye on improving their results further.
Umpiring and other technical aspects will also be given proper attention as a part of the all-round cricket development in the country.
