Historical report — July 2022: Former Pakistan international batter Ramiz Raja Jr publicly alleged that he experienced discriminatory treatment from then-head coach Waqar Younis during his brief international career in 2011.

What Ramiz Raja Jr alleged

In comments reported by Geo Super on July 2, 2022, Ramiz said Waqar taunted him because he was from Karachi. He also alleged that team meetings were conducted in Punjabi, that he was told to learn the language, and that Waqar stopped him from training with Karachi-based bowler Sohail Khan.

Ramiz described the tour as distressing and said he wanted to return home. He represented Pakistan in two Twenty20 internationals in 2011.

These remain attributed allegations

The published account records Ramiz’s description of his experience. It does not independently establish discriminatory conduct, and it should not present his statements as judicial or organisational findings. The contemporaneous report did not include a response from Waqar Younis.

Other players’ separate disputes with coaches do not prove Ramiz’s allegations and are not necessary to report this specific interview. This article preserves the dated public statement while making its evidentiary limits clear.
