Former chairman Shaharyar Khan has held his successor Najam Sethi responsible for the huge financial loss suffered by the Pakistan Cricket Board after the ICC’s Disputes Resolution Committee rejected PCB’s compensation claim against the BCCI. “I was always in favour of continuing negotiations and talks with the Indian board officials and also spoke to ICC bigwigs. It was Sethi who wanted too and eventually got approval to file the claim with the ICC committee when he was heading the board,” Khan said in an interview. “The financial losses the board has now suffered, Najam Sethi is responsible for it.” Khan was succeeded by Najam Sethi as the Pakistan Cricket Board chief in August last year. “Now we have also bear these heavy costs of the case and directly hold Najam Sethi responsible for this,” he said.
