Pakistan have been suffering badly in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 in India. Despite starting the tournament with two consecutive wins, Pakistan have lost the next four games, which put them on the verge of elimination, and they are not in a good position at the moment. But it looks like it is not just the performance, a number of things are surrounding Pakistan cricket team at the moment.

Players haven't gotten their salaries, there is conflict in the team, Babar Azam is not getting a response from Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), and many more. However, amid all those controversies, a new episode has been added as chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq has resigned from his position in the middle of the tournament.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Inzamam-ul-Haq resigns from the post of Chief Selector

It seems like there is nothing good happening with Pakistan cricket team. After their poor performance in the World Cup 2023, they suffered another massive blow. The former Pakistan captain, Inzamam-ul-Haq, has resigned from the position of PCB chief selector. He sent his resignation to PCB head Zaka Ashraf after Pakistan's four consecutive defeats in the tournament.

Inzamam was on this post for a period of six months. Notably, PCB recently sent a press release where they required everyone to support Babar Azam and Inzamam-ul-Haq. However, it looks like there is something not good within the governing body and the players. However, Inzamam's resignation will put a financial burden on PCB.

Some media reports confirmed that the board is liable to pay Inzamam a total sum of approximately PKR 15 million, which is around 2.5 million PKR monthly for six months. There are some rumors about the potential conflicts of interest between the board and players as well. All in all, Pakistan cricket team have been suffering through a number of incidents both on and off the field.
