October 20, 2015 10:25

Amid increasing pressure on the Pakistan Cricket Board at home to review it's cricketing ties with India, a senior member of its Indian delegation has left for Dubai after talks were stalled with the Shiv Sena activists barging into BCCI headquarters in Mumbai.

The Director Media and Communications in the PCB confirmed to PTI that Najam Sethi, a former Chairman and current head of the executive committee in the board, had left India for Dubai.

Amjad Bhatti, however, said that PCB Chairman Shaharyar Khan had reached New Delhi from Mumbai and was scheduled to have some meetings with Indian government officials and some other high profile personalities.

"I can confirm that Najam Sethi has left for Dubai and perhaps chief operating officer Subhan Ahmad is with him. But Shaharyar Khan will remain in New Delhi till Wednesday and return home later that night," Bhatti said.

The PCB delegation's planned meeting with the new BCCI President Shashank Manohar was derailed on Monday in Mumbai when Shiv Sena activists stormed the BCCI offices at the Wankhede stadium just before the meeting was to take place.

Bhatti said that contrary to speculations the PCB delegation had gone to Mumbai on a proper invitation from Shashank Manohar.
