“I am not a candidate for Chairmanship of PCB”: Najam Sethi

Lahore: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) management committee Chief Najam Sethi has dropped out of the race for the chairmanship of the cricket board.

According to details, there has been a dispute between Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) over the appointment of Chairman PCB for past several days.

PPP claims that Zaka Ashraf has the right to be the next Chairman of PCB, if the government wants to keep Najam Sethi, then he should be posted elsewhere.

However, now Sethi has ruled himself out of the race for the chairmanship of the Cricket Board.

He turned to Twitter and wrote: “Under the circumstances I am not a candidate for Chairmanship of PCB”.

Good luck to all stakeholders, PCB chairman shared good wishes. He also wrote that he does not want to be a bone of contention between Asif Zardari and Shehbaz Sharif.

He added: “Such instability and uncertainty is not good for PCB”.

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.
