Power Plays in PCB: Sethi’s Failed Attempt to Woo Asif Ali Zardari

In Pakistan cricket, tensions have been brewing as internal struggles for the board’s leadership persist. Najam Sethi, the former chairman of the now-disbanded Management Committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), made a last-ditch attempt to gain the support of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) co-chairman, Asif Ali Zardari. However, the PPP, for reasons of their own, remained unresponsive.

Sethi’s attempt involved persuading the PPP to retract their support for Zaka Ashraf, the former PCB chairman, who was also vying for the top spot at the PCB. This lobbying effort, reportedly done through mutual acquaintances, took place on Monday but was met with a refusal from the PPP. The party’s stern stance was due, in part, to their resentment over the resignation of the former National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) chairman, Tariq Malik.

The PPP has remained firm in its goal to reinstate Ashraf to the PCB’s helm. On the other hand, Sethi was compelled to step down amidst a standoff between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the PPP, led by Zardari.

Management Committee Dissolution and the Way Forward

To add insult to injury, Sethi faced another setback. The new Board of Governors he attempted to form during his final meeting on June 20 was automatically dissolved. This followed the appointment of Election Commissioner Ahmed Shehzad Farooq Rana as the acting chairman of the PCB on Thursday.

With the dust slowly settling, the PCB has announced a timeline for selecting its next leader. The elections for the much-coveted position of PCB chairman have been slated for June 27. The board has specified that the election process will occur at its headquarters in Lahore, with the official schedule being issued upon receipt of nominations from the various departments and service organizations.

In an official statement, the PCB underlined its commitment to conducting the election fairly and transparently, adhering to due process and fulfilling all legal requirements. This commitment was echoed by the acting chairman, Rana, as the cricket board braces for an intense race for its leadership.
