Shahid Afridi could be in big trouble with the PCB after stating that President Asif Zardari should step in to prevent the game from becoming a “joke”.
Speaking on a TV channel, the all-rounder claimed that if he has been declared an incompetent captain by the Pakistan Cricket Board then chairman Ijaz Butt should also step down from his position.
“It was Ijaz Butt who appointed me as captain for nearly a year and a half and if now it is said that I am not good enough and not capable of leading the team then the chairman is equally responsible for this mistake and should also step down,” Afridi said.
He appealed to the chief patron of the PCB, President Zardari, to intervene. “I would appeal to President Zardari to take note of what is happening in cricket and stop the joke being done with it,” Afridi said. Afridi had some strong words to say about his reported dispute with head coach Waqar Younis. “If they are saying I was responsible for the defeats in the last two one-dayers in the West Indies then that is not true. Because I didn’t select the teams, they were selected by Waqar and manager Intikhab Alam,” the former captain said. He said throughout his tenure he had tried to take the team along and tried to maintain a good atmosphere in the dressing room which was the reason for the team doing well. “I thought I was a hero after our World Cup performance but they quickly turned me to a zero,” he said.
he wld only ask fr money…10%
Ego-clash between our players and sports bodies top notches have created chaotic situation. Both parties know how to make a mountain out of a molehill
Specify one day in a week or month for our highly paid and prized players to work in the agricultural fields as they may not lock them selves into futile assertions and ego-clashes
“Mr. President” is likely to worry more about (through the “amazing” Ijaz Butt) monetary benefits attached to the spot/match fixing scenario, unfortunately prevalent in cricket today!
