Najam Sethi, the chairman of the PCB Management Committee, has requested that people stop flooding him with requests to hire or promote people on the board.
The former PCB chairman asked “relatives, friends, acquaintances, and those in authority” not to ask him for such favors on Twitter on Sunday.
In an effort to revitalize the PCB’s 2014 Constitution, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif appointed the 74-year-old as the chairman of the management committee last month. Ramiz Raja’s tenure as ex-chairman of the PCB came to an end as a result of the board’s dissolution.
“I am flooded with “requests” from relatives, friends, acquaintances & persons in authority to hire or promote people in PCB. Please, Please, everyone, understand PCB is not an employment agency,” he tweeted.
Sethi added that he “cannot, will not, follow bad past practices to erode its professional integrity”.
Sethi has been asked for passes to the Pakistan Super League and favors for any player’s selection ever since he assumed the position of head of the management committee.
In a tweet, the head of the PCB management committee pleaded with his friends and notable figures “NOT to beg for free tickets/passes to PSL matches starting next month.” The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the National Assembly, which audits PCB, urged us to stop doing this, the speaker continued.
Sethi also requested people not to approach him for any player’s inclusion in the team or employment for an undeserving person.
He wrote: “I am also requesting friends and high-ups not to do sifarish for [the] selection of any player or coach, etc, or to give employment or facilitation to any undeserving person. PCB competes with top professional organizations in the world and cannot afford to be inefficient.”
