Internationally acclaimed Pakistani fast bowler Muhammad Amir while commenting on the claim by incumbent PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja for not taking salary said that he had heard something different than the chairman’s claim, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
In a tweet uploaded on Thursday, Muhammad Amir said, “As far as I know, PCB chairman’s got no monthly salary. But the chairman gets benefits.”
On a lighter note, Muhammad Amir said that what he heard might be wrong but, ‘suna to yehi hy (he had heard that).”
He tweeted, “me ne jahan tak suna hai PCB k chairman ki monthly pay ni hoti but benefits hote hain might b m wrong suna to esa hi hai.”
On Sept 13th, former Pakistan captain and the Men's Cricket World Cup 1992 champion Ramiz Raja became the 36th Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Ramiz was elected unanimously and unopposed for a three-year tenure in a Special Meeting presided by the PCB Election Commissioner, Justice (retd) Sheikh Azmat Saeed.
Pertinent to note that Raja had previously served as the PCB CEO for a brief period in 2003-04, with Shahryar Khan as Chairman.
