“Such instability and uncertainty is not good….” says Najam Sethi
The current chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, Najam Sethi has created quite a stir as he made an announcement regarding his withdrawal from the race of becoming the next chairman of the cricket board. Last year in December, Najam Sethi was appointed as the head of the interim management committee of PCB after removing Ramiz Raja from the post of the PCB chairman.
Though Najam Sethi was expected to become the next chairman of PCB, today he took to Twitter and posted, “Salaam everyone! I don’t want to be a bone of contention between Asif Zardari and Shehbaz Sharif. Such instability and uncertainty is not good for PCB. Under the circumstances I am not a candidate for Chairmanship of PCB. Good luck to all stakeholders.”
With this announcement, Zaka Ashraf, the former PCB chairman is all set to become the next chairman of PCB.
Usually, the chief of PCB is appointed by the recommendation of the Pakistani Prime Minister and as Najam Sethi is quite close to PM Shehbaz Sharif, he (Sethi) was all set to be the new PCB chief but the partner in current coalition government, Pakistan People’s Party feels that if they are taking care of sports sector in Pakistan, then their person should be the chairman of PCB.
Najam Sethi has clearly expressed his disappointment by writing, “Such instability and uncertainty is not good for PCB”. What do you think of this issue?
