'I don't plan to resign' - Rameez Raja

Rameez Raja, the chief executive of the Pakistan board, has said that he has no intentions of resigning. Addressing a news conference at the Gaddafi Stadium, Rameez spoke about how Shaharyar Khan, the chairman of the PCB, backed him completely and that the allegations of corruption targeted at him were completely baseless.

"If they [ex-cricketers] consider it is a right way in which they can compel me to leave the office", he said, "they are wrong because my chairman has reposed his full confidence in me.

"If someone thinks that I will be stepping down due to the negative criticism on me after defeats to the Pakistan team, he is wrong. I do not have such plans." Rameez had been severely criticised for performing the dual role of both the CEO and a TV commentator.

Meanwhile, the PCB has initiated disciplinary action against Rashid Latif for making match-fixing allegations during the one-day series. In a letter to Latif, Shaharyar said that his case has been referred to the disciplinary committee for investigation as well as follow-up action. Latif, reputed for his whistle-blowing, responded by threatening to reveal a lot more on match-fixing and exposing many more players.

Latif was quoted as saying by The News that he had certain "details and information" which had led him to question the result of the fourth one-dayer at Lahore. "If the board wants to open the Pandora's Box, then I cannot help it. But I have been in constant touch with the ACU [Anti-corruption unit of the ICC] on this issue and have already given them whatever information I had with me."
