"No I didn't see his [Raja] comment and to be honest, I take everything with Ramiz with a pinch of salt, so it's all good," he said.

" I honestly can't worry about what everybody says because if you worry about what anybody says you are wasting pointless energy because it doesn't make any difference anyway, because I know we are always one win away from the people of Pakistan being very happy, so I don't worry about it," he concluded.

Previously, Raja, had expressed concerns over the appointment of Mickey as the director of the Pakistan men’s team. 

Raja criticized the decision of the PCB management committee, led by Sethi, for bringing back a coach who seemed to have a divided loyalty between his County job with Derbyshire and Pakistan cricket.

"A first of its kind coach/director of cricket picked to run Pakistan cricket remotely, whose loyalty is first with his county job than Pakistan cricket. This is as crazy as a clown in a village circus," Raja had said.
