He was the fourth former cricketer to be appointed to the post after <!-- -->Ijaz Butt<!-- --> (2008-11), <!-- -->Javed Burki<!-- --> (1994-95) and Abdul Hafeez Kardar (1972-77).<br \/>Sethi was the chairman and CEO of the PCB between 2013-2018 and resigned soon after Imran and his party won the 2018 general elections.<br \/>There was, however, no official word from the PCB or Raja on the latest developments days before the Test series against New Zealand, beginning in Karachi on December 26.<br \/>The notification states that the PM has &#8220;reviewed&#8221; the 2014 constitution of the PCB and abolished the existing constitution made in 2019.<br \/>As per the notification, Sethi will head the management committee that includes former Pakistan players <a

Afridi<\/a>, Haroon Rasheed, <!-- -->Shafqat Rana<!-- -->, and former women&#8217;s team captain Sana Mir.<br \/>The rest of the committee comprises of former members of the governing board, which was dissolved in 2019.<br \/>The notification also states that Sharif&#8217;s order had been duly vetted by the Law and Justice Division and now needs to be approved by the federal cabinet, which will be done on Thursday.<br \/>The notification was issued a few hours after the PCB announced the Test squad for the series against New Zealand, which is touring Pakistan after 19 years.<\/div>\n<p><script>!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n                  window.TimesApps = window.TimesApps || {};\n                  const { TimesApps } = window;\n
