He alleged that PCB officials disclosed his confidential report to media “I personally went to Shaharyar Khan’s residence and handed over the report and requested him to keep it confidential,” he said.
“We have to clean up this dirty game being played in the PCB. I am being portrayed as a villain. Why was my report leaked?” he questioned.
“PCB has left me no choice except going to media. Whatever is happening is not right.”
