Inzamam-ul-Haq, the chief selector of the national cricket team, has resigned from his post on Monday after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was relentlessly criticised following a string of defeats at the World Cup.

In his statement, Inzamam-ul-Haq said, “People talk without research. If questions are raised on me, I thought it better to resign and to be on the side.”

Stating that PCB is available for inquiry, the former batting great said that he has asked PCB to investigate accusations against him.

“I have no connection with the player’s agent company, I am saddened by such allegations.” He further said, “After everything is cleared, I will sit with the PCB. I felt that if there is an inquiry against me, I should resign from the post, we should wait for the results of the inquiry.”

The former Chief Selector asked for a transparent investigation and an independent inquiry from PCB. “I am telling you very clearly that I have never had anything to do with the company in my life, I have neither the first signature nor the later signature, whoever is saying this is wrong.”
