After the end of his tenure as PCB chief, Ramiz Raja started his YouTube channel once again.
“To accommodate one person, Sethi to be precise, they had to change the entire constitution (of the PCB). I have not seen this anywhere in the world. It has been done in the middle of a season when teams are visiting Pakistan. They have changed the chief selector, who had played Test cricket. At 2 am at night, he (Sethi) tweets that Ramiz Raja is gone. This is my playing field. It hurts,” said Raja in a video on his YouTube Channel.
“It has been made out as if a messiah (Sethi) has come, who will take the game to new heights. We know what he is up to. He wants the limelight at any cost. He has nothing to do with cricket and has never lifted a bat. They have changed me midway. In the middle of the season, they are bringing Micky Arthur. Saqlain Mushtaq‘s tenure was ending anyway in January. Saqlain has played over 50 (49) Tests, he is a legend. This is no way to treat the cricketers,” he added later.
