Former Pakistan cricketer Tanvir Ahmed has slammed PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja, saying that he has followed in the footsteps of his predecessors and is just passing time in his post.
The Pakistan team has enjoyed a successful run in the past few months after their solid outing in the 2021 T20 World Cup. However, Ahmed feels that the PCB Chairman hasn't made any good decisions after taking up the post.
Speaking a YouTube channel the former cricketer said that the team selection and hirings within PCB is still not based on merit.
“Can you tell me one good thing that Ramiz Raja has done since taking charge? The criteria of team selection and hirings within the PCB are still not based on merit,” said Ahmed.
The former Pakistan cricketer admitted that he had high hopes when Raja was made the PCB Chairman but claims that improvements haven't been made and the 59-year-old isn't working for the betterment of Pakistan cricket.
“When Ramiz Raja was elected PCB Chairman, I thought that things will improve but that has not been the case so far. He is also like his predecessors who is passing time rather than working for the betterment of Pakistan cricket,” said Ahmed.
Ahmed also slammed Raja's decision to hold a junior PSL, saying that the former Pakistan captain should have focused on organising two-day or three-day tournaments. He said that decision will destroy Pakistan cricket as it will make youngsters think that they don't need to play the longest format of the game.
“Instead of holding a Junior PSL, chairman should have focused on organising two-day or three-day tournaments. He is going to destroy Pakistan cricket with such decisions."
“The youngsters will think that they don’t need to play long form cricket and instead focus on hitting sixes. This mentality will not affect under-19 cricket but also under-13 cricket and their families due to the money involved.""
“People all over the world are saying that T20 cricket has destroyed Test cricket but our chairman is trying to organise Junior PSL,” said Ahmed
