Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) underwent a major administrative overhaul in December 2022, with Najam Sethi taking charge as chairman of the managing committee, replacing Ramiz Raja.

After assuming the role, Sethi has made some bizarre tweets, which led to him being brutally trolled by the cricket fans.

On Friday (January 20), Sethi’s post once again took Twitter by storm as he asked his ‘friends’ not to ask for Pakistan Super League (PSL) match passes, adding that the Public Accounts Committee of the National Assembly has warned the board to avoid such practices.

“I am making a personal request to all friends and high-ups NOT to ask for free tickets/passes to PSL matches starting next month. The Public Accounts Committee of National Assembly that audits PCB has warned us to desist from this practice,” Sethi tweeted.

In another post, the PCB chief wrote: “I am also requesting friends and high-ups not to do sifarish for selection of any player or coach, etc, or to give employment or facilitation to any undeserving person. PCB competes with top professional organisations in the world and cannot afford to be inefficient.”

The 2023 edition of PSL is slated to get underway on February 13 with Multan Sultans taking on Lahore Qalandars in the opening fixture. The tournament will be played across four different cities of the country – Karachi, Lahore, Multan and Rawalpindi.

“The PSL 8 will be a massive event for the PCB, taking place at the four iconic venues with the world’s best T20 cricketers in action. We aim to make the PSL bigger, better and stronger than ever before with the overarching ambition to make it the first-choice event for leading T20 cricketers,” said Sethi in a press conference.
