ISLAMABAD (AFP) - The extraordinary game of musical chairs at the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board took a fresh turn on Thursday with the replacement of the sitting chief with a retired judge.

May 8, 2013 - Zaka Ashraf elected as PCB chairman. In keeping with traditional practice in Pakistan, Ashraf was originally appointed by then-president Asif Ali Zardari but reforms demanded by the International Cricket Council (ICC), the game s governing body, meant he had to undergo election.

January 15, 2014 - A court appeal bench restores Ashraf as PCB chairman.
February 10 - Sharif once again sacks Ashraf, appoints Sethi as PCB s committee chief.
May 17 - Islamabad high court appeal bench restores Ashraf again.

July 10 - Sharif appoints former judge Jamshed Ali Shah as interim PCB chief to hold elections for a permanent chairman within 30 days. Sethi removed again as a result.
