adminLAHORE. — Newly elected Pakistan cricket chief Najam Sethi vowed yesterday to bring international competition back to the terror-hit country after years of isolation. Sethi made the promise after being elected chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a three-year term. The new chief, whose first term as chairman in 2013 was marred by court wrangling, said bringing international cricket back to Pakistan would be a challenging but worthwhile goal.
“We need to show patience because it is related to the security situation in the country,” Sethi told media. Barring a limited-over series against Zimbabwe in 2015, Pakistan has not hosted foreign squads since a militant attack targeted the visiting Sri Lankan team in 2009. Sethi said he hoped the planned World XI tour next month would pave the way for future competition in the country. — AFP.
