LAHORE (Web Desk) – Najam Sethi, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board s (PCB) Management Committee, has asked people to stop asking him for favours related to hiring or promoting individuals within the board. 

He took to Twitter to express his request and asked "relatives, friends, acquaintances, and persons in authority" to refrain from making such requests. “I am flooded with “requests” from relatives, friends, acquaintances & persons in authority to hire or promote people in PCB.
