Inzamam, aged 53, emphasized his decision as an opportunity for a transparent investigation, stating, “I am stepping down from the post to offer the PCB the opportunity to conduct a transparent inquiry about the conflict of interest allegations raised in the media. If the committee finds me not guilty, I will resume my role as the chief selector.”
