Butt had a public spat with another Pakistan captain Javed Miandad, who resigned as PCB's director-general in January.

Miandad blamed Butt and other senior Board officials for not giving him enough authority to implement his developmental plans. However, a few weeks later, Miandad resumed his duties after senior government officials persuaded Butt to take the former Pakistan batsman back.

Abdul Qadir resigned as chief selector last month, accusing the PCB top brass and the national team management for meddling in selection affairs. The former Pakistan Test leg-spinner has since become a bitter critic of the Butt-led PCB.
