Keeping in view the consistent poor performance of national team in Asia Cup and World Twenty20, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to dismiss the head coach Waqar Younis, chief selector Haroon Rasheed and captain of Twenty20 Shahid Afridi.

PCB management is not satisfied with the duties of head coach, chief selector and T20 captain. They said that the team’s consistent poor play in important tournaments has shattered the cricket fans’ hopes.

Former cricketer Ramiz Raja and star bowler Wasim Akram have been given the task to find new coach for team whereas the government has also directed to launch probe into Pakistan’s defeat.

Pakistan team had constantly shown irresponsible performance in Asia Cup and were pulled out of the tournament after facing humiliating defeat against Bangladesh.

Pakistan recovered from 28-4 to post 129-7, before Bangladesh reached a winning total of 131-5 in 19.1 overs.

Pakistan only managed to win two matches in the Asia Cup.

Talking about the second mega event World Twenty20 , Pakistan were badly routed by old-rival India at Eden Gardens and New Zealand at Mohali.

Shahid Afridi had also hinted towards his retirement, saying the next match may be the last of his career.

In a talk after the World T20 match against New Zealand, Afridi said: “The next match may be the last of my career.

  1. lWhat are we to beleive. ?suspension or dismissal! The whole board should voluantarily resign. The whole system is rotten.

  2. Your comment…Not only captain coach selectors everything should be change……nd the main thing is that
    plz plyers should leave in peace nd play with devotion….otherwise u can not win even from a weak team in this situation….if it is continuing then Dastan na ho ge hmri dastano ma…
    plz pakistani do special for pakistan plzzzzzz

  3. I think those who appointed these persons need to be scrutinised and summarily removed. I heard on TV the possible names for captaincy and was horrified to hear the names of Shoaib, Sarfraz and Hafeez. This means we don’t have any mind to improve. None of these three are fit to lead a demoralized team. Look to the future. Misbah should lead all three formats with Immad Waseem under study. He is the future Captain who has the qualities team needs. Wasim Akram suggested name of an Australian who was his assistant in recent PSL for the coach. I forget his name but I don’t know which side is Wasim on. I do remember he called Amla a terrorist and was banned for some time to do commentary. There is no difference between Waqar and Wasim. Mohsin Hassan Khan is the right choice.

    • Agreed with most of it, however, Sarfaraz is an apt choice for Captain. He captained the Pakistan Under 19 team to world cup victory. He has those qualities and about time he should not be ignored. Shoaib Malik should be kicked out of the team how many a times has this guy came and went.

      • Sarfraz won that cup many many years ago. It was Anwar Ali and other bowlers who won. Sarfraz has changed and has the tendency to partybazi. Shoaib and Akmal should have no place in the team.

  4. Change coach and chief selector but not afridi. What is the mistake of afridi..only afridi playing for Pakistan and for public. Umar akmal ,wahab riaz and Ahmad shehzad they must be suspend. And for recovering select imran nazeer ,junaid khan and umar gul

  5. to be honest the only captain to take Pakistan further in odi and t20 and later on test is sarfaraz, he puts his heart and soul in every game, we saw his amazing captaincy and leadership skills in psl and at times he let the seniors in kp and sanga help him, however that was just a learning curve he has come of age and must be made captain, azhar ali is struggling for his place in odi so a big no for him as odi captain, if we play under sarfaraz and if these 7 players play every game we inshaAllah will win a lot of series and many tournaments, trust me all we need is right leader and balanced side
    sarfaraz,nawaz,aamir,anwar,imad,babar azam, harris sohail
    there is space for two openers (sherjeel and nasir can fill it but I will leave this open for now and tires should be made) there is also space for two bowlers meaning we can play 1st change bowlers who are required to bowl at death as well, ideally junaid or even bilawal

  6. afridi tek hy saib afridi is best captain pakistan plyer ko galte hy 1 no ahmad shahzad 2 umar akmal 3 shoaib malik 4muhammad hafezz 5 sarfaz ahamd ye 5 plyer ne afridi se gadar e k plesae don't change captain afridi is best captain ye bat pory pakistan kahte hy

  7. Wasim recommended Dean Jones. What a poor choice. This man is a comedian. Not a coach.
    Best option is MOHSAN HASSAN KHAN who has all the credentials. He was a successful coach has dignity and character. Pakistan always did well during his tenure. Misbah will make a wonderful combination again similar qualities. Put Immad Wasim under study.Please drop Shoaib,Akmal and Wahab and Hafeez. Then we will have NO FIFTH COLUMNISTS in the team.This is the time to reorganise.

  8. Pakistan bowling was once famous. Now it has gone down even below Bangladesh. Do Pakistan possess quality pacer like Mustafizur Rahman? Bowling coach are worthless. Pakistani bowlers are not trained to bowl wicket to wicket. No yorker bowler and no good accurate off spinner (Sakib-Al-Hasan of Bangladesh). No good striking fast bowler even (wicket taker) having aggression but accuracy..Even Sri Lankan bowlers are much better than once famous pakistani bowling line.
