PCB is not a personal property of Mr. Najam Sethi..!

Mr.Najam Sethi very rightly said after joining PCB, as its chairman that under his tenure, the team management and the players will NOT only be responsible but answerable as well, for any poor performances of the team.

Now, we will see that was it a just rhetoric or he really means business, particularly, when Mr. Najam Sethi (unjustifiably) pampered the team before its departure to Zimbabwe, by announcing grant of extra Eid bonus to the players and the officials, on their victories over lowly rated West Indian team?

Now, even if our team wins all the remaining matches during the current tour, the stigma and face blackening of losing the first ODI ignominiously, against the lowest rated Zimbabwe team, can not be washed clean, with any detergent available in this universe.

This defeat was a national shame for which ruthless accountability is a must.

As such, the least Mr. Najam Sethi can do to punish the officials and the players is to either fine them heavily, or take back the Eid bonus from the all concerned.

PCB is not a personal club of Mr. Najam Sethi, and he should act and behave like a chairman of a national organisation, lest the history may not judge him, as another run of the mill nincompoop person, who entered with a bang, performed like a dud administrator and left without any worthwhile contribution.

History should also not judge his performance in the words that “everybody rises to his level of incompetence”.

We want Mr. Najam Sethi to act in the interest of the nation, like the upright, straight forward and charismatic Najam Sethi, we all know.

Sack the captain immediately, so that we get rid rid of his load, before the 2015 ODI World Cup.

Action is better than inaction.
