Wasim Khan knows he has a task on his hands turning around the fortunes of Leicestershire on and off the pitch.
The former Warwickshire player's appointment as Leicestershire chief executive saw him become the first British Asian to be handed such a role in the county game.
Wasim could not have picked a more difficult place to start, joining a side that have failed to win a County Championship game in the past two seasons and seen many of their top players leave.
"I want to bring some real energy and drive back into the club," the 43-year-old told BBC Sport before his appointment was confirmed.
"I am going to be very demanding because that is the way I am and I think considering where Leicestershire are some tough decisions need to be made."
The weight of expectation on Wasim's shoulders is not lost on him.
Having been the first British-born Pakistani to play professional cricket in England, being a trail-blazer is nothing new.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
