Ever since Ramiz Raja was sacked as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, several stakeholders of the game in the country have spoken out against him. One of the Pakistan players, who has been critical of Ramiz for quite some time now is pacer Mohammad Amir. In October, he had said, “I think it’s time to get rid of the so-called PCB chairman who thinks he is the god, as well as the so-called chief selector.” Notably, Amir had called time on his international career in 2020 in protest over the “shabby” treatment he said he received from the then management.
“Unfortunately, I played at a time when there were too many controversies. I can’t tolerate that nine players playing for a win, while two players are playing to lose. There is a sense of betrayal. If it was a first-time incident, then you could have said, ‘ok this is the first instance, let’s move on’. But here we have such events every three to four years. Till where can you in forgiving them?” Raja said on Samaa TV.
