Former national cricket team selector Muhammad Yusuf has resigned from the selections committee.
According to Geo News, a disagreement arose between Yusuf and a coach over giving cricketers opportunities despite their poor performance.
The coach was not in favour of change and preferred things to remain as they already were, but Muhammad Yusuf insisted on giving new players a chance.
The coach emphasised consistent policies and not haste, but Yusuf was keen on bringing in Kamran Ghulam, Zahid Mehmood, and Muhammad Ali in the squad for the series against England.
According to the sources, the coach disagreed with Abdullah Shafiq over resting and working on his technique.
The selector and the coach had been at odds concerning change in the categories of the central contracts as well: the selector insisted on making tough decisions on the central whereas the coach emphasised not to downgrade while supporting the players.
Muhammad Yusuf announced his resignation on X (formerly Twitter) and said that he was resigning from the selection committee of the Pakistan cricket team in light of personal reasons.
His post read: “I announce my resignation as a selector for the Pakistan cricket team due to personal reasons. Serving this incredible team has been a
profound privilege, and I am proud to have contributed to the growth and success of Pakistan Cricket. I have immense faith in the talent and spirit of our players, and I Wish our team all the best as they continue to strive for greatness.”
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has also confirmed Yusuf’s resignation as a member of the selection committee.
