If he deserves all kind of criticism over poor performance then he should be rewarded for good performance too. Although there is nothing in common in Najam Sethi and Cricket.

We are not thinking about any sports except cricket. Just seen the Asian Athletics Championship held in India. India topped the medal count even beating China despite of stripping from 2 gold. We got 0. Now think for sometime our player don't get qualified for either world championship. We do have zero qualifications in last Olympics. Absolute shame. Don't drag about cricket, we are 200/206 in football. Don't you think we should get better. This elected and posted minister, authorities and officer looting us.

He does not know anything but still he was able to make 2 successful PSL seasons and the 3rd one on the roll.
Findings of PSL gave us ICC champions trophy which is far bigger achievements.

What a silly joke? Najam Sethi does not know anything about cricket. He never played cricket even for his primary school team. Unfortunately, the "movers and shakers" in Islamabad led by the two brothers have made cricket and cricket administration in the "land of the pure" a laughing stock in front of the whole world by inducting their relatives, friends, peers, pals, associates, supporters, sponsors and cronies into the governing bodies like PCB. Height of moral and ethical bankruptcy. May God Almighty save Pakistan and Pakistani cricket and cricketers. Aameen, Tsum Aameen.
