Pakistan’s star all-rounder Shahid Afridi ignited another likely storm Wednesday when he said Mohsin Hasan Khan was doing a fabulous job as head coach and he should continue but the final decision was up to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Shahid Afridi was talking to reporters at Karachi Airport on Wednesday night after returning from Bangladesh after playing a successful One Day Internationals series against the home team. It is important to mention here that PCB’s sources claimed that PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf is keen to appoint a full-time foreigner coach for national team, but now Afridi’s statement in the favor of Mohsin Khan can land him in yet another controversy. Afridi, while supporting Mohsin Khan, said that he knew the PCB was keen on appointing a foreign coach for the national team. Shahid Afridi said, “Pakistan team needs Moshin Khan as he is too supportive and during his coaching Pakistani team has shown immense improvement”.
He added: “Mohsin not only supports the team but also backs captain Misbah-ul-Haq and Pakistan cricket team needs such type of coach”. Content with his performance, Shahid Afridi said, “I am very happy with my performance, it was just because of prayers of people and my family while media also supported me at my crunch time, but I still find room for improvement in my batting”. Afridi said that he always enjoys a lot performing under pressure. “I never play for records rather my focus is always on team’s victory. Whenever my team wins matches because of my performance I feel proud”. The world’s top all-rounder was of the view that wickets in Bangladesh outsmarted expectations which is why Pakistan faced difficulties in the last match but the spin bowling attack did amazing job. Talking about the upcoming series against England, Shahid Afridi said, “England in UAE will be the real challenge for Pakistan. Pakistan team is doing great but matches against England, India and Australia are always tough task”.

  1. Like waqar younis said "he should keep his mouth shup and focus on his cricket". Afridi is a plonker!

  2. No no no. Afridi have no sense. At all. We need professional coach rather then. Actor like mohsin khan. Afridi have habit to leak news. From dressing room

  3. Is this actor cricketeer left to coach pakistan team,,do we have scarcity of good honest coaches…Mohsin better in tv studio for comments,talks,etc.. Bring some kaafir honest if no muslim is sought..? A sri lankan would be better than our shameless coaches who dont resign for bad results & bad coaching,,just earning money.. If a chairman selected by zardari,then the coach will be likewise….

  4. What a nonsensical article! You asked Afridi's opinion about the current coach and he gave you just that, his opinion. He thinks Mohsin is a great coach and that's it. Now, you want to twist this opinion into "Afridi lobbying for Mohsin and therefore chaos is sure to ensue" piece of news. These people are hell bent on making everything coming out of Afridi's mouth as a controversy. Is this how you treat your heros of Pakistan? Can anyone mistreat Tendulkar this way in India? Learn to respect your heros for God's sake!!!!!
