The appointment of Butt, who was previously involved in a match-fixing scandal, sparked public outrage and drew disapproval from higher circles.
However, Riaz stated that Butt played no role in the team selection process for the upcoming tour of Australia. Contrary to circulating reports, Butt's absence from the decision-making process underscores his non-involvement in the crucial selection proceedings.
