Insane to have a selector who was locked up for match fixing: Ramiz Raja lambasts PCB for Salman Butt appointment

Hindustan Times  

The Pakistan Cricket Board on Friday named former cricketer Salman Butt as a consultant member to newly-appointed chief selector Wahab Riaz, along with Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar Anjum. Former PCB chairman Ramiz Raja was however left baffled at the appointment of Butt and Akmal, calling it "insane" as he lashed out at the board. Ramiz Raja blasted PCB for hiring Salman Butt as a member of the selection committee Speaking to Cricbuzz, Ramiz dropped a mention of the match-fixing saga in lambasting the selection of Butt for the role. "It's insane to have a selection committee consisting of a member whose decision can be termed as a display of filial affection or non-affection and another who was locked up for match fixing," Ramiz said.
