During the conversation, former cricketer Azhar Ali shared an anecdote about Ramiz Raja's tenure as the chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Azhar Ali revealed that Ramiz Raja had suggested including T20 players in the Test team, citing the upcoming T20 World Cups in consecutive years as the rationale behind his proposal.

The revelation prompted laughter from Wasim Akram and others, with the former sarcastically referring to Ramiz Raja as a "genius." Azhar Ali confirmed that it was indeed Ramiz Raja who had made the suggestion in multiple interviews, further adding to the amusement of the group.

Ramiz Raja, in response to his separation from the PCB, had expressed frustration, attributing his removal to political interference and a lack of continuity in leadership. His remarks highlighted concerns about the impact of political influence on cricket administration and the recruitment process in Pakistan.
