Srinagar: Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi has taken a dig at former PCB heads Najam Sethi and Zaka Ashraf, suggesting both to take rest now and give youngsters a chance.
Najam Sethi recently withdrew from PCB post and Zaka Ashraf is likely to replace him.
When Shahid Afridi was asked who would he select between Sethi and Ashraf, he said, “I would’ve rested both of these senior citizens. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone above 60 or 65 years to reclaim this seat. Both of them are now quite old. They need to go, rest and count God’s beads. The way I see it, we need young blood in this place, individuals who can bring in new ideas”.
“I’d request whoever the new chairman is coming, please let World Cup happen, let things be the way they are at least till World Cup, and then do whatever you want because we are already short on time,” he added.
Pertinently Sethi is 75 years old, while Zaka Ashrat is 70 years old.
