Former chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Ramiz Raja shared some screenshots of documents which shows the Memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed for first-ever Pakistan Junior League (PJL).

Last week, the PCB Management Committee, led by its chairman Najam Sethi, decided to discontinue PJL after claiming that the league incurred heavy losses.

Raja responded to the claims and shared details of the MOU which could have generated handsome profits in the future from PJL.

"Reproducing the signed MOU for PJL. It confirms the value sustainability and profit it could have yielded to the Board… and most importantly young players development," Raja wrote while sharing screenshots showing the details of PJL's MOU.

The former cricketer also disclosed that franchises of the PJL were to be locked in by 13th January.

Earlier, Ramiz showed disappointment over the decision to discontinue his brainchild PJL.

"All kids need is a little help, a little hope, and somebody who believes in them.” – Magic Johnson. It is so sad that PJL has fallen to vendetta politics & rolled back even though 7 of the kids made it to PSL 8 emerging category & 3 are part of Pak vs NZ as reserves," he wrote on the social site.

It must be noted here that Raja was sacked overnight just days after the national team suffered a humiliating first-ever 3-0 home series whitewash at the hands of England.

The new management body made some quick decisions including restoration of departmental cricket as per their mandate in accordance to PCB 2014 constitution.
