Islamabad High Court's order means all decisions taken by Sethi as a chairman of PCB are null and void including head coach Waqar Younas and Zimbabwean batting coach Grant Flower.

Karim Kundi, the lawyer of Zaka Ashraf told AFP that, "The notification of February 10 has been struck down as null and void as it was illegal, and as natural consequences Ashraf and other board staff who were superseded by the order are reinstated."

Sethi, commenting on the court decision said that he can not believe on the verbal news and is waiting for the court's written orders.
