Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Najam Sethi resigned from his post on Monday.
“I was waiting for the new Prime Minister to take oath before submitting my resignation as PCB Chairman, which I have done today,” the now former PCB chairman said, adding, “I wish PCB all the best and hope our cricket team goes from strength to strength. Eid Mubarak. Pakistan Zindabad.”
Sethi wrote this message on his twitter Twitter with a picture of his written resignation to the Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan.
Sethi was nominated to the Board of Governors of the Pakistan Cricket Board (as per the Pakistan Cricket Board Constitution of 2014 approved by the ICC and Supreme Court of Pakistan) by ex-PM Nawaz Sharif from 2014-2017 and then again from 2017- 2020 by ex-PM Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
“I was unanimously elected PCB chairman in August 2017 by all ten members of the BoG for a three-year term ending in 2020. I believe I have served the cause of cricket diligently,” Sethi said in his resignation letter sent to the PM Imran Khan.
“To facilitate your objectives in the interest of Pakistan cricket, I hereby submit my resignation as Chairman of PCB and Member of its BoG,” he added.
