Najam Sethi said about the new hiring:

“Shahid Afridi has been an attacking cricketer who played all his cricket with no fear. He has nearly 20 years of cricket experience, has featured in all formats with significant success, and more importantly, has always backed and supported young talent. So, in our collective opinion, there is no better person than him to understand the rigors, demands, and challenges of the modern-day game. I remain confident that through his insight and knowledge of the game, he will help Pakistan select the best and most deserving players, and contribute to the side’s success in the upcoming series.”

Shahid Afridi was previously named to the management committee before as well but he denied it as he was afraid of not doing it justice because of his Charitable Foundation. He said,

“I feel honored to have been assigned this responsibility by the PCB Management Committee and will leave no stone unturned in fulfilling this responsibility to the best of my abilities. We need to get back to our winning ways and I have no doubts that through meritocratic and strategic selection decisions, we will help the national side to perform strongly in the series against New Zealand and reclaim the confidence of our fans. I will soon convene a meeting of the selectors and will share my plans concerning the upcoming matches.”

The fans have high expectations and it looks like things will get better, especially for the new series.

The Portuguese G.O.A.T ended his last World Cup bid with a loss to the rising stars of Morocco, but that wasn’t the end of his career. The 37-year-old superstar was already in talks with Al Nassr when he landed in Qatar and a bid was made for him to join the club when the new football club season began.

Cristiano Ronaldo is now all set to sign a massive contract with the Saudi club.

Cristiano Ronaldo to Join Al Nassr in 2023

Ronaldo is about to sign a mind-blowing contract that would make him the most expensive player in history. He will sign a contract for 2 and a half years and will get a whopping $217 million for his presence on the football pitch.

Al Nassr wanted to sign the global superstar for 7 years and the offer is still available on the table. However, Ronaldo has signed up for 2 and a half years with the prospect of a raise in his contract after the first contract ends.

Cristiano Ronaldo will play for the club until the end of 2024 and will see a rise in his wages until then. After that, he will take on the role of ambassador for the Al Nassr club until the year 2030. He will also play a vital role in Saudi Arabia’s bid to host the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Greece and Egypt.

About signing the Portuguese superstar to the club, Al Nassr’s coach Rudi Garcia said, “think that any coach would be delighted to train a great star like Cristiano. I have always thought that the great players are the easiest to manage because they are very intelligent.”

Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to arrive in Riyadh any day now to sign the contract that will tie him down to Al Nassr and Saudi Arabia until the end of 2030.

December 21, 2022

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has removed Ramiz Raja as the Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman. The news broke today amid the chaos and rumors surrounding Ramiz Raja’s position circling the news like wildfire for weeks now.

The reason behind his sacking was deemed to be the current poor performance of the Pakistani Cricket team which they lost to Zimbabwe in the 2022 T20 World Cup and then lost the home series to England for the first time in history.

According to the sources, Najam Sethi, the previous Chairman who was behind the hard work of the Pakistan Super League has been reappointed by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. Here is everything we know so far.

Ramiz Raja Removed as PCB Chairman

The decision to remove Ramiz Raja as PCB Chairman was finalized today and the appointment of Najam Sethi as the new Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board was done in the same sitting. The board of governors will be notified about the change in the top seat today as well.

The Prime Minister’s office will be releasing four notifications today regarding the new appointment. According to one of those notifications, the 2019 Constitute of the Cricket Board will be abolished. The second notification will also remove the two other names that were nominated for the Chairmanship of the Pakistan Cricket Board.

The third notification is aimed at restoring the 2014 constitution of the Pakistan Cricket Board. The final notification will then notify the establishment to make the new changes to run the existing board.

Ramiz Raja previously spoke about his position as the PCB Chairman and said he had received the “green signal” to keep working as the PCB Chairman. He was elected as the Chairman of the Cricket Board back on 13^th September 2021 when Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was in power.

He replaced Ehsan Mani who had stepped down as the chairman after his three-year term ended. Asad Ali Khan will also be removed as part of the sacking and will be replaced by Shakil Sheikh.
