According to Zaka Ashraf, Inzamam ul Haq decided to step down on his own. Inzamam ul Haq resigned as top selector on Monday, and Zaka Ashraf, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board Management Committee, responded by declaring that he did it on his own initiative without consulting him.
Ashraf arranged a meeting with Inzamam to get his explanation on the current scandal, claiming in a statement that he had not met him before his departure. “But instead of meeting or giving his clarification, he resigned,” Ashraf continued.
Inzamam, who quit his position earlier today, is facing accusations since it was discovered that he has stock in a business run by Talha Rehmani, a player’s agent.
Concerns about possible conflicts of interest were raised by this revelation because Rehmani represents a number of Pakistan’s top cricket players, including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

There are also questions over whether Inzamam’s dual responsibilities as Chief Selector and shareholder in a company that represents elite cricket players could affect the way players are chosen.
On August 7, Inzamam was named chairman of the national men’s committee. Earlier in the month, he was named chairman of the junior men’s selection committee.
“I’m stepping down from the post to give the PCB the chance to conduct an open investigation about the conflict of interest allegations made in the media,” stated Inzamam. As the head selector, I will return if the committee finds me not guilty.”
In a statement, the PCB expressed its gratitude and recognition of Inzamam’s voluntary resignation during the course of the probe.
This committee’s main goal is to investigate the allegations of a conflict of interest that have surfaced in relation to the team selecting procedure. The body will promptly deliver its report and recommendations to the PCB Management.
