The Kiwis called off their first tour of Pakistan after 18 years last Friday due to a security threat to the team.
PCB CEO, Wasim Khan said Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) and Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) showed willingness to play in Pakistan but there was little time in hand for them to send their teams.
In a video message released by the PCB, Raja said he was as disappointed as every Pakistani on the cancellation of New Zealand’s tour.
Pakistan Cricket Board CEO Wasim Khan confirmed that a chartered flight will be coming on Saturday to take the New Zealand team.
The New Zealand authorities do not have substantive proof of a threat in Pakistan, the minister said, hours after the Kiwis cancelled their tour of Pakistan.
This was New Zealand's first tour of Pakistan in 18 years and the series comprised three ODIs and five T20 Internationals with spectators being allowed at 25 per cent of the stadium capacity.
Raja warned NZC that the matter will be taken up before the International Cricket Council (ICC). He took to Twitter to express his anguish.
The 59-year-old, who formally took over on Monday after being elected unanimously, also acknowledged that being chairman of the PCB is one of the toughest jobs in cricket.
Former Pakistan cricketer Ramiz Raja has been formally elected unanimously as chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a term of three years after winning an unopposed election.
PCB announced on Saturday that a special meeting of the Board of Governors (BoG) has been convened on Monday in which the PCB Election Commissioner Mr Justice (retd) Sheikh Azmat Saeed, will conduct the election and preside over the Special Meeting.
PCB CEO said that the reports of captain Babar Azam being unhappy with the squad for the ICC T20 World Cup were 'factually incorrect'.
According to the source, Misbah also had reservations over the selection of at least two players in the squad, particularly Azam Khan, and made it clear to Wasim Khan they can't be in the World Cup squad.
The Pak board has now decided to rope in Saqlain Mushtaq and Abdul Razzaq as interim coaches as the team is set to leave for the New Zealand series.
Akram, who is in Australia, tweeted that the PCB chairman's job was a specialised one and he was not up for it.
Raja said an official notification of his nomination by the Prime Minister, who's also the PCB's patron-in-chief and a former captain of the national cricket team, will be issued soon.
Rumours were circulating that Pakistan's former Test captain Ramiz Raja will take over as the new chairman of the board.
Mani, whose three-year tenure is set to end on Wednesday, is likely to get an extension.
Apparently, Imran Khan, himself a former captain under whom Ramiz played and was part of the 1992 World Cup, feels it is time a former player ran the cricket affairs in the country.
