What Did Ramiz Raja Say On His Ouster From PCB?
Ramiz Raja was critical of the way he was ousted from PCB. He called it a political move that defied cricketing logic. He alleged bulldozing of the PCB constitution just to accommodate one person who had nothing to do with cricket and had never lifted a bat.
The former PCB chairman said that the change had been made in the middle of the season when teams were visiting. They had changed the chief selector to bring Micky Arthur. Saqlain Mushtaq’s tenure was ending anyway in January. Saqlain had played over 50 (49) Tests, he was a legend. That was no way to treat the cricketers said, Ramiz Raja.
