Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman recently attended a club president’s in Pakistan on Wednesday (October 20) where he spoke about not taking his salary during his tenure as the Chairman of the board. Meanwhile, former Pakistan pacer Mohammad Amir reacted to his statement saying that though the board President might not take his salary yet he is entitled to various other benefits during his time.
Mohammad Amir then took to Twitter to point out that the post of PCB Chairman comes with benefits, though he wasn’t entirely sure if this was the case.
“To the extent I know, PCB Chairman is not paid a monthly salary but gets a lot of benefits. I may be wrong, but this is what I have heard,” Mohammad Amir tweeted.

Having announced his international retirement, Amir is not a part of the Pakistan squad that has been announced for the T20 World Cup. Meanwhile, Ramiz Raja had said in the meeting that he had sacrified a proficient career in the commentary to take up the PCB Chairman’s role.
“I have come to this cricket board without any salary. I won’t get a single penny for the next three years. I have sacrificed my ongoing career to take up this post. The car that I own is a 2008 model one. I don’t regret the fact that I don’t own a big house or a fancy car or money. Many a time, you need to play an innings for the honor.”
Amir had his share of controversies during his time as an international cricketer. He also had his share of success and terrorising the opposition batsmen with his sheer bowling talent.
Amir has represented Pakistan in 36 Tests, 61 ODIs and 50 T20Is. He has 259 wickets to his name in international cricket.
