LAHORE, April 03: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Executive Board Najam Sethi on Sunday responded to his critics stating that the critique that non-cricketers are running the affairs of the cricket board are baseless as the International Cricket Board (ICC) is also being administered by non-cricketers.
While addressing the audience during a conversation at a conference in Lahore, Sethi said that he will bring forth the names of those who blackmail the cricket board in one of his upcoming books.
Sethi said that the dilemma of Pakistani cricket is that no international teams come to the country to play cricket. He added that the Pakistan Super League (PSL) brought back some life in cricket as people abandoned television shows and switched towards PSL matches despite the fact that the League was opposed by the Cricket Board.
He further said that whenever the team loses, it is PCB that faces all the criticism whereas the Board is an independent institution and pays tax to the government, not taking anything in return. Sethi refused to talk to the media after he was done talking in the conference, stating that he neither has any news nor will he be providing any.
Meanwhile, PCB Chairman Shahryar Khan has yet again stated that he will not resign from his post. He said that he is glad that Shahid Afridi made the decision to quit T20 side’s captaincy on his own, adding that Afridi is still fit to play and he can still represent the side as a player. – NNI
