Senior PML-N leader Rana Mashood has said that the incumbent government will replace Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja in a few weeks or as soon as the matters of greater importance get resolved, The News reported Thursday.
Mashood, who is a former provincial sports minister, has asked Ramiz to “gracefully” step down from the post. Ramiz Raja had been appointed by the then prime minister Imran Khan after Ehsan Mani’s tenure ended in August 2021.
While speaking during a media talk, Mashood said that Ramiz should have resigned as the PCB chairman the moment PTI government was ousted.
“I don’t see any future for Raja in Pakistan cricket.” Mashood said, adding that the government hasn’t been able to take an immediate decision in this regard due to other “important and pressing issues”.
Other than Sethi, the names of Shakil Sheikh, former PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf and former Lahore region president Khawaja Nadeem are also doing the round to be the chairman of the PCB.
