PCB Chairman Najam Sethi resigns, Ehsan Mani to replace him
142
There was a leadership change at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Monday, with Najam Sethi resigning from his chairmanship of the board and being promptly replaced with Ehsan Mani by Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Mani previously represented the PCB at the International Cricket Council, cricket's governing body, as Treasurer for three years and later headed the body for another three years from 2003 to 2006.
Sethi, who has had longstanding differences with Imran Khan, said he had been waiting for the new prime minister to take oath before submitting his resignation.
"I wish PCB all the best and hope our cricket team goes from strength to strength," he tweeted on Monday. "Eid Mubarak. Pakistan Zindabad."
The text of his resignation recalled his appointment to the PCB's Board of Governors by ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif from 2014 to 2017, and then again by former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi from 2017 till 2020.
Read: Dear Mr PM-to-be, please let cricket be
He recalled that PM Khan "said on many occasions that you have a vision for Pakistan cricket."
"Therefore, it is only proper that you should assume charge and responsibility for assembling a management team for PCB that enjoys your full confidence and trust," he added.
"In order to facilitate your objectives in the interest of Pakistan cricket, I hereby submit my resignation as Chairman of PCB and Member of its BoG," the letter read.
New govt must allow PCB’s current regime to continue its good work: Sallu
Prime Minister Imran Khan had in 2014 accused Sethi of being 'rewarded' with the PCB chairmanship in return for '35 punctures' — an allusion to the 'fixing' of results of 35 constituencies in the 2013 election in favour of the PML-N.
According to the PTI chief and his loyalists, on election night (May 11, 2013), Najam Sethi had called PML-N party chief (and then prime minister) Nawaz Sharif and assured him that “35 punctures” had been fixed.
The tip-off about the phone conversation, according to Naeemul Haq, chief of staff to the PTI chairman and the first person to tweet about it, had come from an ambassador of a 'key western power'.

Mr. Sethi should focus on journalism. That's his strength and I do miss aapas-ki-baat. I don't know why he felt that it was wise to get into an area he has no expertise in. Also, I feel that Mr. Sethi is one of the most brilliant minds in South Asia. But over time, it is obvious that he has a bias towards PML-N. Hopefully he goes back to a non-bias, hard-truth based journalism that helped him build his reputation.

Good riddance. No more free trips for his family on pcb's money. Domestic cricket remained shambles in his tenure, negligible U19 and A team tours, played politics with Shahriyar when there were two heads of pcb taking the board in opposite directions, ruined careers of promising youngsters due to his ego despite insufficient evidence in spotfixing saga, corrupt officials like Shakeel Sheikh and Subhan Ahmed went from strength to strength in the board.

Najam Sethi is a talented person. But for PCB Chairman there were many more people with Cricket and Sports background. But unfortunately almost in every Government there is political appointment from top to bottom against national interest. People are rewarded for their loyalties to the Chief of Party. This has inflicted irreparable loss and damage to the Nation and national image all over.

Excellent choice of IK for the slot of cricket. Please create four regional cricket academies in Sindh, Punjab, KPK and Balochistan and pick international talent from the best performers from these four regional cricket bodies purely on merit basis. Until now, cricket is only dominated by Punjab and KPK and Sindhis and Balochis are never given opportunity to represent their country. The regional bodies will be a hunting ground for best talent to bring world cup again into Pakistan.

I think Najam Sethi as PCB chairman served pretty well, the story of "35 punctures" is in its place but lets be unbiased for a moment. He was the guy who initiated the PSL and for PSL it was that we have fantastic players like shadab and fakahar zaman now, key faces behind our champions trophy victory. Implies that no PSL it would have been no champions trophy for Pakistan. But Kaptaan mentioned that Ehsan Mani is a very talented guy so lets hope the best for him too. We'll have plenty of moments to judge his performance as chairman PCB like first in Asian games and then PSL 2019 and then world cup 2019. All the best Mr. Mani.

Mr Sethi did an excellent job as PCB chairman. He is probably one of the ablest administrators and negotiators in all of Pakistan. He was doing this job more or less as a public service and may be for some prestige, but never for the money it pays. He has enough prestige and money on his own and does not need this job for either of those. It is Pakistan's and Pakistani cricket's loss.

However, based on his performance, Najam changed our minds and we applauded him for his work. However, from the start, Sethi had friction with IK and when IK won most of the seats, Najam tweeted his "discontent in a subtle way" and today he resigned on his own accord.

Written in poor English grammar. There is no need to give excuses when resigning. Failed to revive domestic cricket, and there is no world class stadium in Pakistan under his tenure.

Now he should be questioned for laundering millions of $s in the name of PSL and match fixing.

@Philosopher (From Japan) I am not a Sethi fan, nor do I have anything against him. You called him 'corrupt'. Do you know for a fact that he is corrupt? Do you have any info or evidence that confirms he is corrupt? If you do, please share.

@Khalid Nabi Surely you don't mean Imran should find someone like Najam Sethi or better still Najam Sethi himself even?

Najam Sethi has the aura, the credibility, and the personality such that when he talks people listen. He is very articulate and convincing.which he does by good reasoning and rationale using his brains and experience and has proven himself in many diverse positions and fields. In a nutshell this is a big loss to Pakistani cricket, and in accepting Najam Sethi's resignation Imran Khan has acted impulsively and vindictively without showing the maturity one expects from a man in the PM's office.

Mr Sethi!s contribution to PCB can not be undermined as for as PSL and bringing some foreing team to play in Pakistan are concerned.PM I Imran Khan!s displeasure against Mr Sethi is well known when he leveled the charge of 35 punctures ( though the same remained to be unproved by Imran Khan and he also stands to be answerable in the defamation suit filed by Mr Sethi.) Yes the field of Journalism suits to Mr Sethi which he should again join

Mr Mani, one request. Look for other nation's matches, don't make India as priority. We want to see Australia, UK, SA , Sri Lanka , West Indies and Bangladesh as priorities.

To acquire a post and position is different from getting into a post and position!
To acquire means firstly to deserve it as a person of merit by virtue of knowledge and experience in a given field!
Whereas, getting into post and position in exchange for goods delivered and or services rendered, which by no standard or norms is a qualification!
It is now upto us all to reach a just and fair decision to choose the right person!
