In an interview with Geo Super, Ramiz voiced his discontent with the selections being made on the basis of nepotism and political ties. He also appeared to be concerned over the revisions made to the PCB constitution to appoint Sethi as the new chief.
Slamming the new administration, Ramiz said:
Notably, Ramiz Raja’s tenure as PCB chairman came to a premature end in December last year. The former cricketer’s sacking came after the team’s embarrassing whitewash in the home Test series against England.

Ramiz Raja also spoke about how he was able to increase fan engagement significantly while at the helm of the Pakistani board.
He noted that the Men in Green’s performances were very impressive during that time, especially in white-ball cricket. The 60-year-old pointed out that several top teams have started touring Pakistan, which was a rarity in the past.
Ramiz added:
Pakistan suffered a 2-1 series defeat against New Zealand in the recently concluded three-match home series. The Kiwis are set to tour Pakistan once again to play five T20Is and as many ODIs in April and May this year.
