Rumors are strong that Najam Sethi who recently met with the premier at a function in Lahore might be called up to replace Ramiz as Chairman,&#8221; one former PCB member said. <br \/>England have already clinched the three-match Test series after winning the first two matches. The third Test is currently going on in Karachi. <br \/>Ramiz has been PCB chairman since September 2021 and was nominated by former premier Imran Khan. <br \/>When Imran&#8217;s party won the majority of seats in the 2018 general elections, Najam Sethi resigned as PCB chairman because of his past differences with the former premier. <br \/>Under the Board constitution, the prime minister nominates candidates for the post of chairman and one of them is then elected by the board of governors. <br \/>Surprisingly, despite a strong campaign against Ramiz when <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/shahbaz-sharif\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" data-ga=\"within_article-topic_link|topic_shahbaz-sharif\" frmappuse=\"1\">Shahbaz Sharif<\/a> was elected prime minister and a new government came into power last April, the lobby against the PCB chief failed to achieve their objective. <br \/>Ramiz, in fact, was allowed to carry on as PCB Chairman, a rare thing in Pakistan cricket as with the change in government, the incoming premier always nominated his own person for the important post. <\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                  window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n                  const { TimesApps } = window;\n                  TimesApps.loadFBEvents = function() {\n                    (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                      if (f.fbq) return;\n                      n = f.fbq = function() {\n                        n.callMethod ?
