Debacle Against England Brought Premature End To Ramiz Raja's Tenure As PCB Chairman As Najam Sethi Takes Over

By IANS News December 22, 2022 • 13:57 PM View: 704

Pakistan's embarrassing 3-0 debacle against England at home in the recent Test series seems to be the immediate trigger for the government to act and dethrone former cricketer Ramiz Raja as Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and hand over the reins to veteran diplomat and his predecessor Najam Sethi.

England stormed to a historic clean sweep in Pakistan already clinched the three-match Test series after winning the first two matches. The third Test is currently going on in Karachi. This brought about a premature end to his three-year tenure.
