The Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Mohsin Naqvi has revealed what steps the board is considering after the team’s stage 1 exit from the T20 World Cup last month.
Talking informally to the media in Lahore, Naqvi said, “People are asking for surgery.” The word is a reference to his own statement where he said massive surgery is required for the national team. “I never take any decision in anger, hasty decisions are often harmful. Head coach Gary Kirsten has submitted a report; in it he gave detailed information about the World Cup performance. Gary Kirsten and Azhar Mehmood have been called for a discussion.”
The PCB head then revealed that he is in touch with former cricketers, taking advice from them for improving cricket. “They, whose livelihood is not talking on various TV channels, will spot the real issues.”
He went on to reveal that a former cricketer has given a detailed report. “I will not make decisions after seeing social media posts. PCB is not running on social media posts. It doesn’t matter if you post against PCB or me.”
On improving the national team, he said, “While looking at things with patience, it is also a challenge to improve things within the PCB. The people inside the PCB show one thing, and the truth on the ground is something else.”
After the national team’s poor performance in the T20 World Cup, Mohsin Naqvi announced a major surgery in the team.
