(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Pakistan Cricket Chief Najam Sethi resigned on Monday (20) following speculation in recent days that he would be forced out by the country’s newly elected Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The two were involved in a bitter, public feud in recent years, after Khan accused Sethi of election fraud to help former Premier Nawaz Sharif’s party win the 2013 election.
Sethi, who was appointed to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) by Sharif, denied the allegation and sued Khan for defamation.
His three-year term as Chairman was due to end in 2020, but his departure was widely expected following Khan’s victory.
