Pakistan’s opening batter, Fakhar Zaman, has officially parted ways with his player agent, confirmed by his elder brother, Gohar Zaman, through a post on social media platform X.

In his message, Gohar stated, “As an elder brother, I confirm that Fakhar Zaman will not be part of SAYA Corps from today,"

This announcement has caught attention, as other cricketers like Pakistan’s white-ball captain Mohammad Rizwan and former captain Babar Azam are still linked with the same agency.

According to sources, the decision allegedly stems from a social media post that was reportedly made at an inopportune time by Fakhar’s agent. Insiders suggest that the timing of the post may have put Fakhar in a difficult position and raised suspicions that the post was intended to benefit another cricketer at Fakhar’s expense.

It is worth noting that Fakhar Zaman missed out on a central contract and was not selected for the white-ball squad. Before the controversial post, Fakhar was even considered a candidate for captaincy.
