PCB refute Zaka Ashraf's comments that Shahryar Khan is 'puppet' of Najam Sethi

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday strongly rebutted former chairman Zaka Ashraf's recent comments that current boss Shahryar Khan is a puppet of ex-chairman Najam Sethi.

In a strong exception to Ashraf's statement, the PCB said that it refuses the malicious charge leveled by the former chairman.

The PCB stated that Shahryar has served as chairman of the PCB in the past and is fully versed with its issues and added that the current chairman has taken all decisions with the approval and support of the BoG as laid down in the constitution, The Dawn reported.

It also added that Sethi has been out of the country for nearly two months for personal reasons and has not inputted into any of Shahryar's decisions, like all other members of the BoG.

PCB concluded that it is unfortunate reports have quoted Ashraf at length without even a single response on record.
