“Hopes are raised of having a better cricketing structure in place” – Salman Butt on rumors of Ramiz Raja’s chances

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan wants a change in personnel as he believes a former cricketer can have a much more impactful role in the development of the sport as compared to others. Ramiz has a lot of experience not just as a player, but also as a commentator.

This should definitely work in his favor, as per Salman Butt. Everyone hopes for a good cricketing structure right from the domestic level onwards and Butt is no different. He has already expressed that his wish of seeing a strong domestic structure will soon be established if Ramiz gets the chairman’s job.

Ramiz Raja keeps traveling the world as a commentator. He must have observed what other nations are doing with their cricket. A broadcaster doesn’t cover only the match on the ground.

What he does and how he implements his learnings if he gets the post of PCB chairman remains to be seen. But definitely, when a cricketer-chairman comes in, hopes are raised of having a better cricketing structure in place,” Butt added.

Ramiz Raja is reportedly going to meet with PM Imran Khan on August 23. The meeting will also include Ehsan Mani.
