I aimed to contribute to the betterment of the game under the spotlight of a cricket-crazed nation of 220 million people,” said Khan.

“Bringing international cricket back, mixed in with sleepless nights dealing with crisis management, or averting a potential crisis, and navigating through highly politically charged situations were just part and parcel of the exhilaration that came with the role,” he added.

‘I Made Mistakes’-Wasim Khan

Concluding the statement he said, “Pakistan Cricket stirred my soul like nothing else. I feel privileged to have played a small part in its history.

In a couple of weeks when I fly out of Lahore, heading back to England, I know that I will feel nothing but gratitude and love for the fans of Pakistan who embraced and supported me throughout my time.”

It looks like Pakistan Cricket Board didn’t put any effort to bring him back. As the Board of Governors of the Pakistan Cricket Board had unanimously accepted Wasim Khan’s resignation.
