Since the appointment of Ramiz Raja as PCB chairman, there have been a number of resignations. Earlier this month, Pakistan’s head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis had resigned from their roles.
Earlier, Raja had said that England and New Zealand’s decision to not play series in Pakistan is a lesson for them and now they will just look after their own interest. After New Zealand decided to abandon their tour of Pakistan right ahead of the first ODI, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) also announced that its men’s and women’s tour of Pakistan would not go ahead as planned.
Raja said that his team would now be required to channel all their frustration into showcasing good performance in the upcoming T20 World Cup.

“We go in the World Cup now and where we had one team in our target — our neighbours India, they now add two more teams, New Zealand and England. So pick up the strength and develop a mindset that we are not going to lose because you didn’t do right by us with us and we will avenge that in the ground,” said Raja.
