Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) patron-in-chief Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has decided to replace cricket board chairman Ramiz Raja with Najam Sethi, reports said on Saturday.
Former PCB chairman Najam Sethi met with PM Shehbaz Sharif in Lahore wherein matters pertaining to the restoration of the 2014 Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Constitution and departmental cricket came under discussion, ARY News reported citing sources.
The Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) has given a summary of Najam Sethi’s nomination as the new head of the PCB and the reinstatement of the 2014 PCB Constitution to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, according to the reports.
It is important to note that Imran Khan, the former prime minister of Pakistan, selected Ramiz Raja as PCB chairman on September 13, 2021.
Najam, 73, first served as chairman in 2013 but had to fight a legal battle with Chaudhry Muhammad Zaka Ashraf. He returned to charge in 2014 but Shahryar Khan was named chairman and Sethi was given the charge of the powerful executive committee.
