Najam Sethi, the interim chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has decided not to seek a permanent position as PCB chairman.
Sethi cited his reluctance to become a point of contention between the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) president, Asif Zardari, and the Prime Minister, Shehbaz Sharif. As a result, Sethi withdrew from the race, clearing the way for Zaka Ashraf to potentially assume the position of PCB chairman.
