Najam Sethi to take legal action against former PCB chief Sheharyar Khan

Shehryar had blamed Sethi for PCB's financial loses in compensation case against BCCI

Former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Najam Sethi on Sunday said he would take legal action against his predecessor Sheharyar Khan for holding him solely responsible for the decision to proceed against Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for violating a contract with the board.

Sethi took to Twitter to share that he would engage in litigation against him.

Ex Chairman PCB Sheharyar Khan says I was solely responsible for the decision to proceed against BCCI for violating a contract with PCB. This is utterly false and malicious. I intend to take action under the law.

Earlier on December 21, Khan had pointed the finger at Sethi for financial loses that the board suffered in compensation case against the BCCI.



After losing the legal battle of compensation against the Indian board, the PCB had suffered yet another blow last week, when the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced that the board would have to pay legal expenses of the case as well.

“The board has already suffered substantial financial loses after India refused to play against Pakistan, and now PCB will have to bear expenses of the case as well. This is all on Sethi. From the day one, I told him that our case was weak. We will suffer more financial loses, but he didn’t listen,” Khan had said.
