Rumours of Butt forwarding resignation were widely published in the Indian news websites the reasons being quoted by these sites as health related.
The resignation is expected when Butt returns from his London visit after which he is expected to handover his resignation to the Patron PCB President Asif Ali Zardari
Ejaz Butt, the Chairman famous for cracking jokes did not prove worthy for the management and leadership of the board as in his tenure Pakistan got involved in much controversies.
No major event was won by the Pakistan side except the T20 World Cup in 2009, so much so that now at the so called expected end of his career Pakistan still is in the deep pit of the England tour spot fixing controversy.
Pakistan recently returned from an extremely controversial and bitter, question raising tour of England when its three ace players (2 bowlers, 1 Batsmen) were suspended on spot-fixing allegations. Butt even now was criticised by many for handling of the entire scandal that plagued Pakistan cricket.
Another lack of professionalism was seen by the 72-year old when he went, soon after the scandal’s uprising, to England where he bluntly without proof hit out at the English players alleging that they had fixed the last third ODI at Oval.
He later did withdraw his remarks but at the same time again brought shame to the nation when he had to apologize in accordance with the demand made by the England board in a written letter.
Critics strongly believe that this and many other events where Pakistan has been alleged in any kind of irregularity, in which Butt was seen directly or indirectly involved, is the basic reason behind his resignation. Sources are even seen as quoting former ICC Chairman Ehsan Mani as the future Chairman of the PCB.
