Pakistan cricket team’s Chief Selector Inzamam ul Haq Monday resigned from his post amid the World Cup 2023 after “clash of interest” allegations were levelled against him, the board confirmed.
“People speak without research. Questions were raised on me so I decided that it was better I resign,” Inzamam said in a statement.
According to allegations being faced by Inzamam players’ management company is registered with the PCB, in which Inzamam is also reportedly a partner.

Several top players are associated with this company, namely Mohammad Rizwan (who is also a partner) and Babar Azam, according to sources.
He said this is the reason why questions were raised that the chief selector is a partner of a company that is involved in getting contracts for the players.
In the statement, Inzamam — who was appointed to the post in August — mentioned that he was available if the cricket board would initiate an investigation.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has set up a five-member fact finding committee to investigate allegations in respect of conflict of interest reported in the media pertaining to the team selection process.
The committee will submit its report and any recommendations to the PCB Management in an expeditious manner.
