Salman Butt’s appointment as a selection consultant for the Pakistan Cricket Board, which faced widespread criticism, has been revoked just one day after it was announced.

The newly appointed Chief Selector of Pakistan Cricket, Wahab Riaz, clarified that Salman Butt played no part in the decision-making process for the tour down under, addressing any misconceptions that may have arisen on social media.
