Inzamam-ul-Haq Quits As Pakistan Cricket Team’s Chief Selector

Veteran Pakistani cricketer Inzamam-ul-Haq has tendered his resignation from the position of Chief Selector for the Pakistan cricket team, amid the team’s lacklustre performance in the ongoing cricket World Cup in India.

Inzamam-ul-Haq is also facing scrutiny due to allegations of his shareholding in “Yazo International Limited,” a company associated with player agent Talha Rehmani.

This revelation has sparked concerns about potential conflicts of interest, particularly as Rehmani represents several prominent Pakistani cricketers, including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

Additionally, questions have been raised about whether Inzamam’s dual roles as Chief Selector and shareholder in a company representing top cricketers might influence player selection decisions. Notably, this controversy unfolds against the backdrop of significant disagreements between the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and players concerning central contracts.

On a fateful Monday, Inzamam-ul-Haq made the surprising decision to submit his resignation as the chief selector of the Pakistan cricket team. The cricketing world was left in shock as this announcement came in the midst of the highly anticipated World Cup 2023.

Inzamam cited “clash of interest” allegations as the reason behind his resignation. Allegations had surfaced that he had engaged in conversations with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), which prompted him to take this drastic step.
