Pakistan Chief Selector Inzamam-ul-Haq Resigns. Reports Claim This Is The Reason

Inzamam-ul-Haq has resigned from the post of Pakistan cricket team chief selector over potential 'conflict of interest'. The resignation came amid Pakistan's disappointing show in the Cricket World Cup 2023 where they have won just two out their six matches and are most likely to be eliminated in the group stage.

The company represents multiple cricketers like Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Afridi. The ongoing dispute over the player salaries have resulted in major controversy over Inzamam's involvement and that may have ultimately led to his resignation from the position.

According to another report in Dawn, Haq "said he went to the PCB after the allegations and asked the board to hold an inquiry.:

"People are making statements without research. I told the PCB to do their research. I have no relation with the player-agent company," he clarified.

Inzamam served as the chief selector from August 2016 until July 2019 and he was reinstated ahead of Asia Cup 2023. "I told the board that if they had any doubts, they should investigate it."

The PCB has also set up a five-member fact-finding committee to investigate allegations in respect of conflict of interest reported in the media.
