It hurts, he's not a Messiah like he acts to be: Ramiz Raja hits back on Najam Sethi

Pakistan Cricket Board's former Chairperson Ramiz Raja recently got sacked from his post on the board and was replaced by Najam Sethi - which has brought various eyeballs on how things function in the nation. 

Since the sacking of Ramiz and the national selector committee - formerly headed by Mohammad Wasim, the newly appointed PCB chief has been vocal about the previous regime. 

While talking about his sacking, Ramiz on his YouTube channel mentioned how bad the government's decision is looking on the public front internationally.

"In the middle of the season, when teams are coming to play in Pakistan, you have done this, and then you changed the chief selector. The point is that Mohammad Wasim whether he was doing a good job or not, is a former Test cricketer, and you should have made him leave with respect," Ramiz Raja mentioned.

Ramiz, who played 57 Test matches for Pakistan, further criticised his successor, citing Sethi changed the entire PCB constitution when he last chaired in 2013. 

"This Najam Sethi is tweeting at 2:15 am that Ramiz Raja has been sacked, star congratulating me. I have played Test cricket, this is my field, and it hurts to see these people from outside cricket trying to act like a Messiah. I know that their motives are non-cricketing. These people are here for the limelight.

"To bring just one person you changed the entire constitution of the Pakistan Cricket Board. I have never seen this happen in the world that to adjust Najam Sethi, you had to change the constitution," the former PCB chief concluded.

In the recent turn of events, apart from the appointment of Sethi, PCB appointed an interim selection committee including Shahid Afridi, Abdul Razzaq and Rao Iftikhar Anjum - all of them having considerate experience in representing Pakistan.
