ISLAMABAD – Former PCB Chairman Najam Sethi has made new revelations aboutPM Imran Khan.
Sethi revealed that when he first joined the PCB, Khan had approached him.“He asked me to make him the national selector or national team coach.”Sethi said. But when Sethi asked for feedback on Khan, everyone advisedagainst it, saying he had been tried and tested.
They advised me to get someone new for the post, he said.
Sethi revealed that when he was first made the chairman in 2013, he calledRashid Lateef and asked him to work with him.
I told him, “Rashid come, let’s tackle this corruption.” The formerchairman said he also offered Lateef the post of chief selector. But heinsisted on being made the head of anti-corruption.
I was told by some PCB officials that Lateef was close to Danish Kaneria,who was convicted of match fixing, he added. “He insisted on beingappointed as the anti-corruption head and said that the case against DanishKaneria was a fraud. But see, now even he [Danish] has accepted wrongdoing.”
