Pakistan’s chief of selectors Inzamam-ul-Haq resigned from his post on Monday over allegations of a conflict of interest linked to the team’s poor performance at the World Cup in India, reports Sports Star.
Inzamam is reportedly accused of holding a position in a company that has contracted several Pakistan players for marketing and commercial promotions.
Former player Inzamam said he was ready to face any inquiry from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
“I am heartbroken at these allegations of a conflict of interest and if the PCB holds an inquiry I am ready to face that,” Inzamam told a local television channel in Pakistan.
Local media alleged the company involved has influenced the selection process of the under-performing team.
Pakistan is on the verge of crashing out of the ongoing World Cup in India, having lost four of their six matches.
