Pakistan’s chief of selectors Inzamam-ul-Haq resigned from his post on Monday over allegations of a conflict of interest linked to the team’s poor performance at the World Cup in India, reports Sports Star.

Inzamam is reportedly accused of holding a position in a company that has contracted several Pakistan players for marketing and commercial promotions.

“I am heartbroken at these allegations of a conflict of interest and if the PCB holds an inquiry I am ready to face that,” Inzamam told a local television channel in Pakistan.

Local media alleged the company involved has influenced the selection process of the under-performing team.

Pakistan is on the verge of crashing out of the ongoing World Cup in India, having lost four of their six matches.
