Pakistan Cricket Chief Ramiz Raja Sacked After England Drubbing

By AFP News December 22, 2022 • 13:03 PM View: 709

Pakistan cricket chief Ramiz Raja has been sacked just days after the national team suffered a humiliating Test series defeat at the hands of England, according to a government notice seen by AFP Thursday.

Appointments to run the sport in the cricket-mad country are highly politicised, and responsibility lies with the prime minister and cabinet.
