"Didn't Allow Me To Take My Stuff From PCB Office": Ramiz Raja Launches Scathing Attack At Najam Sethi

Former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja has termed Najam Sethi's appointment as 'political victimisation and vendetta'.

Launching a scathing attack on the new Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) management, Ramiz Raja has termed Najam Sethi's appointment as a 'political' move that defies cricketing logic. In a video on his YouTube channel, Ramiz said that the entire PCB constitution was changed just to fit one person (Najam Sethi). Raja also took a swipe at the process in which the changes were made, suggesting he didn't even get to take his stuff from the office as Sethi and his men took over.

"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 in the night, he (Sethi) tweets that Ramiz Raja is gone. This is my playing field. It hurts," the former PCB chairman said during a YouTube interaction with the fans on Monday.

"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 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."
