ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Najam Sethi, who has a history of clashes with new prime minister and former national captain Imran Khan, resigned from his post on Monday and was swiftly replaced.

Pakistani cricket enjoyed a golden period under Sethi's management, winning the ICC Champions Trophy and shooting up the global rankings to become the number one team in T20 internationals, cricket's shortest format.
