No player is bigger than the game: Sethi
Chairman PCB asserts that Umar Akmal's breach of code of conduct will not be tolerated.
LAHORE (Dunya news) – Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi has hinted on taking a stern action against Test cricketer Umar Akmal. He was talking to Zainab Abbas during the popular Dunya news show Cricket Dewangi.
Last week, Umar Akmal had lashed out at Mickey Arthur, the head coach of Pakistan cricket team, for allegedly hurling abuses at him. Sethi said that Umar Akmal had violated his contract and a breach in code of conduct would not be tolerated.
However, he was particularly lenient in expressing his views about the central figure of the 2010 spot-fixing scandal, Salman Butt. He said that the test opener had shown remorse and should be allowed to represent the country again.
The newly appointed PCB chairman announced that PCB was to take relevant decisions regarding women cricket affairs. Moreover, Sethi was hopeful that he would put an end to nepotism in Pakistan cricket circuit which will bring talented players forward. He was also hopeful about bringing back international cricket to Pakistan.
