Najam Sethi, the veteran journalist who was PCB chairman several times over the past year, is back in an influential role in the board. He was named the head of what is expected to be an all-powerful executive committee to control cricket affairs in Pakistan. The committee also includes the chief operating officer Subhan Ahmed and chief finance officer Badar Khan.
The three-man ExCo is set to be the sole recommendation committee on all major executive decisions in PCB though the board chairman Shaharyar Khan will still be the ultimate signing authority. The PCB however hasn’t divulged the ExCo’s powers but it is understood that committee will be holding the major chunk of power in the board. If that happens, it will be the first time the PCB’s powers have been centred on the executive committee, as earlier the PCB chairman held most of the powers.
