The incumbent Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairperson Ramiz Raja is likely to quit from the position following the defeat of Former Prime Minister Imran Khan in a no-confidence motion on Sunday, reports SAMAA.
Former Captain Ramiz Raja was elected unanimously as the 36th PCB chairman for a three-year term in September 2021.
According to a report by Cricket Pakistan, Ramiz Raja is currently in Dubai for the International Cricket Council (ICC) board meeting. During the meeting, he shared his proposal for a four-nation T20 series ( Pakistan, India, Australia, England) which is rejected because it could not fit in the next media cycles due to the packed Future Tour Program (FTP).
However, Ramiz Raja expressed his satisfaction with how the meeting underwent through his Twitter account.
News reports claim that Ramiz is expected to quit his office and former PCB chairperson Najam Sethi is expected to become the next head of PCB.
Najam Sethi served in 2013 as head of PCB. However, he faced a legal battle with Chaudhry Muhammad Zaka Ashraf, another former chairperson of PCB. He later took up the position again in 2014 but Shahryar Khan replaced him and Sethi was given the charge of the executive committee.
In 2017, he was appointed again as PCB chairperson but after one year he soon gave up his position in 2018.
Najam Sethi was the person who launched the Pakistan Super League (PSL) in 2016 and was the president of PSL at that time.
