ISLAMABAD – In a surprising revelation it has emerged that Prime MinisterImran Khan is the man behind Sarfaraz Ahmed’s sacking as the captain of thePakistan cricket team.
According to the reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had SarfarazAhmed in its plans till the T20I World Cup in 2020, however, the decisionto remove him was made following direct orders from Imran Khan.
Things are slightly heating up between the government and the cricket boardas the PCB has reportedly put the blame on Imran Khan for denying NOCs toplayers for the T10 league.
Media outlets are reporting that Imran Khan was behind this decision aswell, owing to the fact that Indian owners are involved in the league.
On the other hand, the International Cricket Council (ICC) is also likelyto investigate the matter of political interference in the PCB. This mightland the cricket board in trouble as earlier the Zimbabwe Cricket Board wasbanned due to political interference.
