England wrapped up the third Test on Tuesday to hand Pakistan their first-ever 3-0 home series whitewash.
But a change had been on the cards since April, when Imran Khan - a former national captain - was ousted as prime minister and replaced by Shehbaz Sharif.
A government notice seen by AFP said Sharif's cabinet had dismissed Raja, and the PCB would now be run by a 14-member committee headed by Najam Sethi, who has twice served as chairman. The government notice also said the current constitution of the board has been scrapped, and one dating from 2014 revived."The cricket regime headed by Ramiz Raja @iramizraja is no more," Sethi tweeted Thursday.
Khan came under fire for changing the PCB's constitution in 2019 -- in particular for abolishing the role of government departments and private entities in first-class cricket, leaving hundreds unemployed."The famine in cricket will come to an end," he said.
