Ramiz Raja-PCB controversy: Former Pakistan cricketer Salman Butt has gone hard at ex Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Ramiz Raja, by saying the latter behaving like a kid. The 60-year-old Raja’s fortunes in Pakistan have taken a dramatic turn ever since he was ousted as Chairman of the PCB.
Raja was sacked from his post after England clean swept the Babar Azam-led side in Pakistan.
Raja had reacted with some stern comments towards the current panel and expressed his displeasure at being replaced by Najam Sethi as the new PCB chief. Raja had stated that the new board members have no interest in the betterment of Pakistan cricket and that they only want authority.
“I think his recent comments have left a bitter taste. People have been sacked before too, but nobody has ever reacted this way. He’s behaving like a kid who had his toy snatched,” Butt said on his YouTube channel.
The former Pakistan batter said Raja needs to show some grace and focus on his other skills like commentary.
“He has got other skills and should consider doing commentary now. He should not be making such statements and needs to show some grace,” Butt said.
“Ramiz Raja was lucky that the new government allowed him to work for several months after coming to power, which doesn’t happen usually. It’s the first time that a new government did not fire the chairman straightaway. Not only did they not remove him straight away, but they also supported him. There had been talks about Ramiz’s removal. It did not happen overnight,” he added.
