The announcement of a PCB leadership transition coincided with Pakistan’s home Test series loss to England. On Tuesday, the Three Lions swept the series in Pakistan with an eight-wicket victory in the third and final Test. This was Pakistan’s first-ever 3-0 defeat in a home three-test series.
Ramiz Raja, who was elected to a three-year term in September of last year, has left office prematurely. It marks the conclusion of his second spell with the PCB, following his tenure as CEO from 2003 to 2004.
