Former Pakistan cricketer and PCB chief Ramiz Raja has opened up on his sudden exit from the cricket board saying he has been ill-treated by the administration.

“Aisa inhone hamla kiya cricket board mein aake. Mera saman bhi nahi lene diya inlogo ne. Subah yeh 9 baje, 17 bande dhandate fir rahe they cricket board mein. Jaise ki koi FIA ka chapa par gaya. (They attacked the cricket board (office) and did not even let me collect my belongings. Early morning at 9 around 17 guys stormed into the office, which felt as if the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) of Pakistan has raided the office),” stated Raja in his Youtube channel video on Monday.

Ramiz Raja and his Board had been not too long ago ousted by the Pakistani authorities after the PCB’s 2019 structure was revoked and a 14-member committee chaired by Sethi was given full govt authority to work on restoring the division construction, which had been eradicated in 2019 after Imran Khan was elected because the nation’s prime minister (the PM of Pakistan is the PCB’s patron-in-chief).

Nazam Sethi tweeted at 2.30 within the night time saying my exit and his arrival as if he’s some messiah who will change the cricket in a single day. I’ve been a Test participant and I do know the sport. It’s my taking part in area.

“Former players who have been on key posts have been removed unceremoniously to adjust this man and his thugs. I have never seen this happening anywhere in the world.”

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi was appointed the interim chief selector for the nationwide males’s crew on Saturday.
