Former chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board Rameez Raja has opened a front against the board. Raja, who was removed from the post of chairman at midnight, made several revelations on his YouTube channel. In place of Rameez Raja, the Government of Pakistan appointed Najam Sethi as the new chairman. Now Rameez Raja said that he will raise this whole issue on the International Forum. He said that this can happen only in Pakistan that you violate the rules and remove someone before the end of the term. I will raise this issue on the international platform. This is pure political interference.
Rameez further said that you ask someone to be on the side in the middle of the term. What will happen if people come through the back door like this? This has put pressure on Babar Azam and the entire team, as they will have to work with new people.
changed the constitution to accommodate
Rameez Raja further said that you have lost the series to England. Mid season you are changing management. This can happen only in Pakistan that you change the constitution to accommodate someone. I have not seen this happening anywhere in the world. I have done a lot of commentary, I am a member of MCC. Now I am going to give lecture in Oxford also where I will definitely raise this issue.
Najam wants to come in limelight
Former Pakistani veteran further said that Najam Sethi tweets at 2 in the night that Rameez is gone. He said that this is my playground. Hurt happens. He said that Najam wants to come in the limelight under any circumstances. He further disclosed that Najam and his men came to the PCB office and did not even allow me to take my belongings. They started behaving as if I have done something wrong and got raided here. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan appointed Rameez Raja as PCB chairman in September 2021. He held the post for 15 months. Rameez became the 36th chairman of the PCB after Ehsan Mani stepped down.
