Can somebody in PCB explain what the responsibilities of a manager, coach or captain of cricket team are during a foreign tour? Shoaib Malik and Razzaq were allowed to proceed to South Africa from Dubai, although both of them suffered injuries in UAE. Strict disciplinary action should be taken against officials accompanying the team who are responsible for selection and gauging their fitness before selection. As for these two players, the cost incurred on their travel, boarding and lodging, along with a fine, be imposed on them. If this is competence and assessment capacity of tour manager, than God help PCB. Pakistan cricket is going through its worst crisis, with repetitive failures becoming the fate. It is not the dearth of talent, but nepotism, cronyism and criminal irregularities of selection committee that denies places to talented bowlers and batsman, forcing players like Imran Tahir to abandon their country.
