Sarfraz alleged that he was sitting in the waiting room to meet chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Lt Gen Tauqir Zia when Ramiz entered the room.

"Ramiz started shouting and hurling abuses in front of the secretariat staff. He asked the security guards as to who allowed me in the stadium. He later threatenened to get me thrown out if I didn't walk off," Sarfraz claimed.

Ramiz, a member of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) advisory council, is engaged in a legal battle with Sarfraz after the former fast bowler accused him of misappropriation and abuse of power in an interview.

Ramiz, who was not available for comments, has filed a Rs 50 million law suit in the Lahore High Court.
