The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Monday that Inzamam-ul-Haq has resigned from his post as chairman of the men's and junior national selection committee.

Pakistan Cricket Board Management Committee Chairman Zaka Ashraf said on Monday that Inzamam ul Haq resigned as chief selector without consulting him.

Ashraf said in a statement that he had not met Inzamam before his resignation and had arranged a meeting with him to seek clarification on the ongoing controversy.

“But instead of meeting or making his statement, he resigned,” Ashraf added.

There are allegations against Inzamam, who resigned from his position today after it emerged that he held shares in a company owned by player agent Talha Rehmani.

This disclosure sparked concerns about possible conflicts of interest as Rehmani represents several of Pakistan's leading cricketers, including Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Shaheen Shah Afridi.

There are also further questions about whether Inzamam's dual role as chief selector and shareholder in a company that represents top cricketers could influence player selection decisions.

“He was appointed Chairman of the National Men’s Committee on August 7, 2023 and also Chairman of the Men’s Junior Selection Committee earlier this month,” the statement added.

Additionally, the PCB also welcomed and acknowledged Inzamam-ul-Haq's decision to voluntarily step down from his role amid the investigation.

The statement also quoted Inzamam-ul-Haq as saying he was resigning from his post to allow the PCB to conduct a transparent investigation.

“I am resigning from my position to allow the PCB to conduct a transparent investigation into the conflict of interest allegations made in the media. If the committee finds me not guilty, I will resume my role as chief selector,” Inzamam was quoted as saying.
