He surpassed Ramiz Raja as he was removed from the board.
Najam Sethi worked as a CEO and Chairman from 2013 to 2018.But he returned after the change of governments in Pakistan.
Najam Sethi has been appointed head of the 14-member committee that will run the PCB for four months.
Governments in both countries have to be consulted when it comes to bilateral and other cricket relations between Pakistan and India, Sethi told reporters in Lahore.
Since ACC chairman and BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that India won’t travel to Pakistan for next year’s Asia Cup and that the tournament will be moved to a neutral venue, the BCCI and PCB have been at odds. Raja had threatened to cancel the ODI World Cup that was slated to be held in India in the second half of 2023 as a severe form of revenge.
Sethi, who served as chairman and CEO from 2013 to 2018 before stepping down after the Imran Khan-led government gained office in 2018, seems dissatisfied with the selection of the Pakistan Test squad by the previous administration for the home series against New Zealand.
I donu2019t know whether there is a need to make changes in the squad, we will see if fresh ideas are required. It would have been better if the squad had not been announced,u201d he said.
Before I resigned, I believed we had accomplished a lot during our four to five years together. But everyone can see what has happened over the past four years, he continued.
The country’s prime minister, according to Sethi, wanted departmental teams and regional cricket organisations to be revived.
