PAK vs NZ: "He Should Not Be Making Such Statements": Salman Butt Slams Former PCB Chief Ramiz Raja

Ramiz Raja was sacked as chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), and Najam Sethi took his place. Over the past few weeks, the PCB has seen a number of changes.

Ramiz Raja had made incendiary remarks about being fired as PCB chairman after the revamp, saying he wasn’t permitted to “the office and retrieve my belongings.”

“Najam Sethi tweets at 2 in the night that Ramiz Raja is out. Is this respect for a former captain? I was not even allowed to go to the office and collect my belongings,” Ramiz had said on Monday on his YouTube channel.

“The morning after the decision to fire me was taken, there were about 17 people running around the PCB headquarters as if they owned it”

“It seemed as though I had done a crime and was taking incriminating evidence from my office. What kind of tamasha is this? These guys have only come to have fun and gain attention… they know nothing about cricket” Ramiz Raja Added.

“Ramiz Raja should consider doing commentary now”: Salman Butt

Salman Butt, a former Pakistan captain who has continuously criticized the decisions made by the former PCB chairman throughout his term, responded to Ramiz’s remarks by saying that Ramiz should consider himself “fortunate” to have been given the opportunity to lead PCB.

“Ramiz Raja was fortunate that the new government permitted him to work for several months after taking office, They not only did not remove him immediately, but they also encouraged him. There have been discussions about removing Ramiz. It took time. I believe his recent remarks have left a bad taste in my mouth” Butt explained.

Imran Khan, the former prime minister and the captain of Pakistan’s World Cup-winning team, selected Raja as PCB chairman in September 2021. Raja held the position for 15 months.
