PCB to follow govt’s advice on going to India for 2023 World Cup: Najam Sethi

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee Chairman Najam Sethi on Monday said that the board will abide by the government’s advice on touring India for next year’s ICC T20 World Cup.

Speaking to reporters in Karachi, Sethi said that Pakistan and India’s cricket issues are beyond the cricket board’s control and the government always decides them.

“We will obey whatever the government would suggest to us and we will seek the government’s advice when the time arrives, similar to the last time I was the chairman,” he said.

“As far as Asia Cup is concerned, I will go to ACC (Asian Cricket Council) and see what the situation is; we’ll take a decision which is in the better interest of the game;

“We have to see what other board’s position is, we have to play cricket with everyone, we will not take any step which can cause any isolation,” said Sethi.

Replying to a question, he said there would be no gag on former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja’s commentary assignments.

“I’ve always respected him, I understand his position, but we will always welcome if he wants to do commentary assignments in the future,” he said.
