LAHORE: Acting Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Najam Sethi Thursday night departed for London to represent Pakistan at the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting, Geo News reported.

Sources said what agenda he had on his mind was best known to him only as he flew to London without briefing the press at the airport.

He however, had, in one of his earlier statement said that he would sincerely try to fight young pacer Mohammad Aamer's case at the ICC forum. Aamer is facing a five-year ban after he was convicted for his alleged involvement in spot-fixing scandal.

The ICC meeting which started on June 25 will conclude on 29th. The chief executives of all the boards will hold meetings on the first two days followed by the Board’s meeting, which would be attended by the heads of member cricket boards.

Senior journalist, Geo analyst, and Punjab’s former caretaker chief minister Najam Sethi was appointed as the acting chairman of the PCB in the wake of the Islamabad High Court’s directions to the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC). The post was lying vacant since Zaka Ashraf was given his marching orders earlier.

The ministry had earlier sent three names — Mumtaz Rizvi, Majid Khan and Chishti Mujahid — for the acting chairman’s post. However, the PM instructed the ministry to add more names to the list. “Sethi’s name was added to the list on Saturday and was finalized there and then.”

After the appointment as PCB Chairman, Najam Sethi had said that his priority would be to facilitate selection of the team for an upcoming tour of West Indies.

“I will be facilitating the team selection that was pending because of the suspension of chairman and then attend the ICC meeting,” Sethi added.“I have been asked by the prime minister to fulfill limited responsibility and I will do my best to do that,” Sethi said.

Dormer PCB chief, Zaka Ashraf, 60, became the first-ever elected chairman of the PCB last month under a new constitution demanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to reduce political interference.
