Salman Butt removed from selection committee

WEB DESK: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to remove Salman Butt from the selection committee, as announced by Chief Selector Wahab Riaz during a press conference on Saturday.

The PCB has officially appointed former cricketers Kamran Akmal and Rao Iftikhar Anjum as consultant members. However, Salman Butt’s association with the selection committee has been terminated.

“I am reverting that decision and I’ve already spoken to Salman Butt and told him that he cannot be a part of my team because I do not want that people link us in any way,” said Riaz.

Butt faced a ban due to a high-profile spot-fixing scandal and had publicly apologised for his involvement.
