Former Pakistan test player Salim Altaf has been sacked as chief operating officer of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). "The chairman of the board (Ejaz Butt) has said in a letter that the services of Mr Salim Altaf are no longer required by the board," a PCB spokesman said on Monday.
Altaf told Reuters he had not received any termination letter from the board as yet, adding: "I reserve the right to pursue legal action against the board for this unfair dismissal of my services."
