On 6 October 2008 President of Pakistan Asif Ali Zardari, patron of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) appointed Butt as chairman of the PCB. He has been involved in several controversies during his career, presiding over Pakistan during a time when security concerns—including a shooting incident involving the Sri Lankan tour bus—stripped the country of several international fixtures. He has made several attacks on current and former PCB officials and the Senate of Pakistan, and was involved in match-fixing allegations during a tour of England in 2010.
His accusations of similar match fixing by the England team, though later retracted, let to speculation about his future with the PCB.
But beside all this Pakistan also won a T20 world cup in june 2009 beating Sir-Lanka in the final by 8 wickets.
Now he is going to resign due to personal reasons. The source to this news is Geo news. The new chairman will be announced on this Friday.
Lets hope the new chairman could improve the pathetic situation of Pakistan Cricket.
