KARACHI: Chairman of the PCB Management Committee Najam Sethi held a meeting with former national cricketers, here at National Bank Cricket Arena on Monday.

The interim PCB head discussed the affairs of domestic cricket in his meeting with ex-cricketers as the board currently run by a newly-appointed set-up is aiming to revive the departmental structure in domestic cricket.

Legendary batter Javed Miandad, Wasim Bari, Tauseef Ahmed, Shoaib Mohammad, Saleem Yousuf and others attended the meeting.

The federal cabinet last week approved repealing of PCB Constitution 2019 and revival of the PCB Constitution 2014 through a circulation summary to pave way for the departmental cricket.

In a string of developments, the federal government appointed a 14-member interim Management Committee with Sethi as its chairman to run the affair of the cricket board for a period of 120 days.
