Several other media reports also claimed that Raja, who became the PCB chairman in September 2021, has either been sacked or will be sacked soon. However, there was no official annuoncement regarding the same till late Wednesday.

According to the ESPNcricinfo report, the removal of the current board has been initiated by the patron of the board and Prime Minister of Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif.

Raja himself called the pitch "embarrassing", adding it was not a good advert for Test cricket
