Rafi Nasim (1931–2020) was a Pakistani cricket administrator and writer.
Life and career
Born on 10 January 1931, in Lyallpur, British India (now Faisalabad, Pakistan), Nasim served two terms as the Honorary Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in Pakistan (BCCP). His tenure saw him navigate through challenging times for Pakistani cricket, and he spearheaded initiatives to develop cricket infrastructure.
Despite his subsequent dismissal from the BCCP in 1986, just ahead of the 1987 Cricket World Cup, Nasim's contributions significantly prepared Pakistan for co-hosting duties. He later focused on writing, contributing to several sports magazines, newspapers, and websites.
A brain hemorrhage in 2015 curtailed his writing, but he remained engaged in the cricket world, advocating for the game's love over its increasing commercialization.
