In exclusive remarks to PakPassion.net, the PCB Chairman has indicated that he is trying to convince all parties to play in Karachi. In that regard, he has been in touch with the Chief Minister of Sindh and Rangers for security. The Franchisees have also been approached to convince them to bring in foreign players for PSL games. The ICC Security firm has been asked to provide a green light for matches to be be held in Karachi, with construction firm NESPAK being tasked to carry out civil works at the NSK in the coming four months time.

Been his staunch critic all my life but I gotta say credit should be given where credit is due. Although some of his policies regarding (television rights previously) have been questionable he is doing a very good job in bringing the game back to our country - For that he has my (as a cricket fran) full support, and this is coming from a guy who couldn't previously stand Sethi or his policies.

Couldn't agree more. This guy is the best cricket admin so far in my opinion!
