After removing Intikhab Alam as the manager of the national team, the PCB has also sacked assistant coach Aaqib Javed and assistant manager Shahid Aslam for tour of Zimbabwe. The changes in the team management come at a time when former captain Shahid Afridi has made some scathing remarks about the performance of the team management. But interestingly Afridi had praised the role of Aaqib terming him a good coach while advising Waqar to enroll for some coaching course. PCB chairman Ijaz Butt in a statement insisted the decision to make changes in the team management was mainly due to the fact that Intikhab, Aaqib and Shahid were all closely involved in the NCA programs and needed to devote more time to their responsibilities.
