ISLAMABAD - Former PCB Chairman Najam Sethi has made new revelations about PM 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 advised against 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 called Rashid Lateef and asked him to work with him.
I told him, “Rashid come, let’s tackle this corruption.” The former chairman said he also offered Lateef the post of chief selector. But he insisted 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 being appointed as the anti-corruption head and said that the case against Danish Kaneria was a fraud. But see, now even he [Danish] has accepted wrongdoing.”
