Life
Born on 10 January 1931, in Lyallpur, British India (now Faisalabad, Pakistan), Nasim served two terms as the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in Pakistan (BCCP).[1][2] During his tenure, he worked on administrative matters related to Pakistani cricket, including efforts to improve cricket infrastructure.[1] He was dismissed from the BCCP in 1986, shortly before the 1987 Cricket World Cup, though his earlier work contributed to Pakistan’s preparations for co-hosting the event.[1] He later focused on writing for sports magazines, newspapers, and websites.[1] In 2003, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) issued him a legal notice of Rs 50 million for criticizing PCB chairman.[3]
A brain hemorrhage in 2015 curtailed his writing. He died in 2020.[1]
