Ramis Raja Action Removal:
England recently toured Pakistan and won the Test series by 3-0. This is the first time that a Pakistan team has been white-washed in a Test series at home. Pakistan also lost the T20I series against England and lost in the World Cup series and semi-finals.
Pakistan Cricket Federation President Rameez Raja was heavily criticized due to the series of defeats and the selection of the team. Subsequently, Rameez Raja was recently removed from the post.

After that, the committee led by Pakistan team selector Mohammad Wasim was disbanded and the team was formed under the leadership of former cricketer Afridi as the interim selector chairman. It has been announced that the team will only pick the squad for the Test and ODI series against New Zealand. This caused a huge uproar in the Pakistan Cricket Board.
Babar Azam Press Conference:
In this case, Captain Babar Azam has broken his silence for the first time regarding the changes in the Pakistan Cricket Association. Speaking to the media, he said, “A lot has changed in the last 3-4 days. As a departmental person, many of us have gone through such situations. But the most important thing is to give effort on the field and do our best for the team.
Those things happen off the field. Our focus is on how to get off to a good start in the upcoming Test series and perform well in all the matches. In the last series they only made small mistakes and we couldn’t do well. But we look forward to correcting those mistakes,” Babar Azam said.
