The 60-year-old Ramiz Raja has made some brutal comments on the former Pakistan National Cricket Team pacer Aaqib Javed, labelling him as the “most depressed” and “foul-mouthed”.

Ramiz Raja, who was appointed as the 36th chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on September 13, 2021, was removed from his role on December 21, 2022, following Pakistan’s humiliating defeat in the three-match Test series against England at home. Najam Sethi was appointed as the new chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

Aaqib Javed alongside many fans and former cricketers criticised Ramiz Raja throughout his tenure as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

After Ramiz was sacked, Javed stated that the 60-year-old was a “one-man show” at the PCB. Javed revealed that he had earlier advised Ramiz to step down from his role but he didn’t listen.

“Ramiz Raja was a one-man show in PCB which he admits himself,” Cricket Pakistan quoted him saying.

“He was given a chance to work for the betterment of Pakistan Cricket. Now let Najam Sethi work in PCB. I advised him to resign from his position and let the newly appointed Government bring the new Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), but he didn’t listen to me.”

I tried a lot to reach out to him, to knock some sense into his head, But he is beyond repair – Ramiz Raja

While talking about Javed’s comments on Pakistan’s Suno TV, Ramiz said that the former pacer is “beyond repair”.

“He was the most depressed, I think. He’s foul-mouthed. He’s mistaken. I can’t treat that. This is his erratic behaviour, and for quite some time as well. I tried a lot to reach out to him, to knock some sense into his head. But he is beyond repair,” said Ramiz Raja.

“Najam Sethi has said that it is difficult to revive department cricket and that the existing model is working. He said he will try to bring sponsors. If this model is so bad, even the PSL model is the same. It happens everywhere in the world. Do we have to get out of the dark ages or not?”
