Just last week, the duo of Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis resigned as the coaches of the Pakistan cricket team. The new head of PCB, Rameez Raja gave this information in the press conference.

Rameez Raja said that he has become the head of PCB to change the stance of Pakistan cricket and turn things around. He emphasized on improvement in many areas of the game. He said that unless you improve the situation on the ground, there can be no development at the top level. “There is a need for better coaching academies, better coaches, better pitches,” said Raja.
“It’s a big challenge,” said Ramiz Raja. He also gave an advice to the media and said,Be responsible, back this team! I just want to talk about cricket. I have come here to change cricket.”
