Pakistan sack chief as tension boils over
13 April 2012
The Pakistan Cricket Board have sacked their chief operating officer Salim Altaf.
Altaf and PCB chairman Ijaz Butt have been at loggerheads with each other for some time and the decision to remove Altaf was made at a council meeting last month.
It is the latest setback for cricket in Pakistan after Aamir Sohail resigned as director of the National Cricket Academy, while legendary leg-spinner Abdul Qadir had quit as chief of the selection committee after citing interference as the reason.
