LAHORE, October 29, 2014 : The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman, Shaharyar M. Khan, and Board of Governors (BoG), have unanimously recommended Najam Sethi as Pakistan's nominee for President of International Cricket Council (ICC) for the 2015-16 term commencing on July 1, 2015.
The PCB Patron, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Tuesday evening endorsed the PCB's nomination of Najam Sethi for the ICC President's position.
Mr Sethi is a renowned international award winning journalist who was given Pakistan's highest civil award, Hilal-i-Pakistan two years ago. Last year he served as Chairman PCB and helped fashion a new democratic constitution for the PCB, later voluntarily stepping aside to make way for the election of Mr Shaharyar Khan.
The BoG in its last three meetings had at various points greatly appreciated Mr Sethi's contribution to Pakistan cricket during a difficult transition period and unanimously felt he was the best man for the nomination as the President of the apex body of world cricket.
