Ramiz Raja was sacked as chairman of the PCB last year in December, with Najam Sethi stepping in as interim chief.
The 60-year-old's sacking came after the team's humiliating 3-0 whitewash against England in the recently concluded test series held in Pakistan.
Raja served as PCB chairman for 15 months after he was appointed by former premier Imran Khan to head the board in September 2021.
Raja had taken over as the 36th chairman of the PCB after his predecessor Ehsan Mani had stepped down from the post. He was the fourth former cricketer to be appointed to the post after Ijaz Butt (2008-11), Javed Burki (1994-95) and Abdul Hafeez Kardar (1972-77).
As a player, Raja represented Pakistan from 1984 to 1997, scoring 2,833 and 5,841 runs in Tests and ODIs, respectively.
Earlier this year in June, Zaka Ashraf was appointed as the PCB chairman for the third time after Sethi decided to withdraw from the race.
