LAHORE - Lahore City Cricket Association (LCCA) president Khawaja Nadeem Ahmad has said that as a selector, Imran Bucha has withdrawn his resignation in the larger interest of Lahore's cricket.

"Ups and downs come across in every responsibility but we must show better understanding and resolve to overcome problems,” said LCCA chief. He said participants of the meeting had a unanimous resolve to take tougher decisions for the betterment of the cricket setting aside favoritism and nepotism.
