Salman Butt’s appointment by PCB draws social media’s ire
The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) decision to appoint former captain Salam Butt as a consultant in the selection committee didn’t sit well with social media users.
Pakistan cricket fans haven’t forgotten the former captain’s role in the spot-fixing scandal in 2010.
Former Test captain Salman Butt represented Pakistan in 33 Tests, 78 ODIs and 24 T20Is.
He made 5,209 runs spanning the three formats with 11 international centuries.
He was also part of the T20 World Cup-winning squad in 2009.
The PCB on Friday confirmed the appointment of former Pakistan cricketers Kamran Akmal, Rao Iftikhar Anjum and Salman Butt as consultant members to chief selector Wahab Riaz.
“Their first assignment as consultant members to the chief selector includes the upcoming five-match T20I series against New Zealand, set to commence on January 12, 2024, following the conclusion of the Test tour to Australia. When not engaged in selection duties, the consultant members may be assigned additional tasks such as conducting skills camps,” PCB stated.
