Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif dismissed Rameez Raja as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman. This news was released today while confusion and rumors surrounding Ramiz Raja’s side have been widely spread in the news for weeks.

Moreover, sources said that former chairman Najam Sethi, who was behind the hard work of the Pakistan Super League, was reappointed by Prime Minister Shabaz Sharif.
