LAHORE – Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi on Saturday has decided to resign.
He will resign after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s oath as Prime Minister of Pakistan.
According to sources, Sethi said that the decision to quit has been taken to save Pakistan Super League (PSL).
Earlier, PTI had written to NAB requesting the anti-graft watchdog to open an investigation over alleged corruption against Sethi.
The letter stated that Najam Sethi was involved in corruption in PSL due to which he wasn’t letting the PSL audit report to be made public. It further accused PCB chief of failing to make PSL a successful event.
Sources privy to PTI told our correspondent that PM-in-waiting will not only force Sethi to relinquish but would also initiate probe into mammoth irregularities.
Sources added that Khan will also direct Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) to take probe of pending cases against Sethi to their logical end.
