The federal government directed to conduct of a special audit of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) management committee, focused on Najam Sethi’s tenure.

The government has written a letter to the auditor general of Pakistan asking for an audit of all board matters from December 22, 2022 to June 30, 2023 to be initiated without delay.

This would mean an audit of the affairs of the management committee as well as an audit of Pakistan Super League season 8’s affairs as well.

Audit officials will undertake a comprehensive review of the perks and privileges to all members of the committee and the chairman of the board.

The management committee took charge of the PCB as the Pakistan Democratic Movement came to power and sought to reverse changes brought by Imran Khan’s government.

As Ramiz Raja was shown the door as PCB chairman, the committee took over the board’s affairs, effectively under control of Najam Sethi. However, the status of he committee was said to be temporary.
