Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Mohsin Naqvi has shared an update on the surgery on the Pakistan cricket team.
While addressing a press conference in Lahore on Monday, he said, “People talk about surgery and want to cut the throats of four or five, that doesn’t happen. Let the pool be made first; then, there will be a backup, and surgery will be done. The surgery is still pending, let the instruments be completed first.”
He said, “I will fix all cricket issues. I don’t have any magic wand to wave.”
Talking about Bangladesh’s defeat, he said, “The defeat against Bangladesh is very disappointing. The Champions Cup will be completed at the end of September, and then performers will come forward. The selection committee has picked the boys. There are 17 players now, and it is the job of the coach and captain to make a strong lineup.”
“Waqar Younis has helped in terms of mentors; he was supposed to take over a team, but now he will take over the team regularly. It’s been 5-7 months, and I’m trying to improve the situation.”
Regarding the Rawalpindi Test, he further said, “We have requested the pitch report and will receive it by tomorrow, regretting the defeat. Trying to improve will take some time, but it will all get better. The players’ central contract will also be announced in the next few days.”
Bangladesh defeated Pakistan by 10 wickets in Rawalpindi on August 25 in the first Test of a three-match Test series.
