Since Ramiz Raja's sacking as PCB chairperson, he isn't mincing and raised concerns over political interference in the board. Notably, he was appointed to the post by former Pakistan Prime Minister, Imran Khan. Apart from him, the 1992 World Cup winner also claimed that his belongings were confiscated although he hasn't been able to prove such. In reply, the board has threatened to file a case against Raja.

Meanwhile, one of his critics, and former Pakistan pacer, Mohammad Amir has 'scolded' Ramiz for his comments. The former started by mentioning how Raja was brought into the board politically and the same has become the reason for his ouster.

Speaking to Samaa TV, Amir said: “You are saying they launched an attack, describing the way they entered. I think they way the previous government brought you, similarly the new one brought them.”

Ramiz Raja did nothing but talk too much: Mohammad Amir

The two-time World Championship winner also spoke made comparisons between Najam Sethi's previous stint as PCB chief and Raja's stint. Amir said that Sethi stepped down quickly, referring to the latter stepping down after Imran Khan's political party came into power. The former left-arm pacer further added that Sethi didn't do any paid interviews or claimed being wronged by anyone.

"Najam Sethi had stepped down from his position quietly. He didn't point fingers at anyone, neither did he do any paid TV interviews, where he claimed that he has been done wrong. If you start counting his achievements, there are plenty. When Zimbabwe first toured in 2015-16, he was there. No one was ready to buy PSL, he ensured that it happened. The list is endless and he could have also cried on TV.

“But you did nothing and talk too much. The amount of damage you've done from 2019-2022, I think Najam Sethi will have to work a lot to rectify them,” he added.
