Raza’s tenure as PCB chairman was controversial. He was criticized for his handling of the Pakistan team and for his close ties to the Pakistan government. However, he also made some positive changes, such as introducing a new central contract system for players and investing in grassroots cricket.
Raza was terminated by the PCB in December 2022. He has since returned to commentary and is also involved in business ventures.
