KARACHI: Former Test cricketer Sarfraz Nawaz has urged Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to immediately remove Ramiz Raja as Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman.
Raja is incapable of Running an institution like PCB, He claimed in a statement on Tuesday.
Every Pakistani is disappointed over Pakistan’s cricket team’s shocking and shameful loss against Zimbabwe in the T20 World Cup, He continued.
The former fast bowler claimed that Raja’s recommendations for drop-in pitches and a four-nation T20 tournament showcased naivete.
