Pakistan Cricket Board on Wednesday scotched media speculation that Inzamam-ul Haq had reached an agreement with the board and agreed to retire from all cricket after the second Test against South Africa in Lahore.

Inzamam’s future has been a subject of intense speculation in recent weeks and it took a new turn on Wednesday with some newspapers and a television channel claiming that he had entered into an agreement with the board which will pave the way for his exit from Test cricket.

The PCB media advisor, Aamir Bilal in a statement denied the board having reached any deal with Inzamam.
But in the same breath he created some confusion by saying that any policy decision on Inzamam would be made and announced in next two or three days keeping in mind the larger interests of Pakistan cricket. “The news about the PCB assuring and guaranteeing Inzamam 10 million on his retirement from test cricket is absolutely incorrect,” the statement said. 

“The PCB Chairman, however, has clearly stated that any policy decision regarding Inzamam will be announced in next two to three days,” it added.

The statement is an indication that the board might be having second thoughts on forcing the former captain to retire so soon from Test cricket.
