KARACHI: Former Pakistan batsman and chief selector Mohsin Khan hit out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for “making a fool” out of the public with the appointment of the head coach of the national team. “I had applied for the post when the PCB advertised for the head coach along with other positions.
But the board opted to ignore the process it had laid down for the appointment.” Mohsin Khan particularly took PCB chairman Najam Sethi to task.
“What do you expect when you have such a chairman in charge? This is Pakistan’s cricket board, the people’s board. But they’re running it like their family owns it.
This chairman only needs yes-men around him,” he said.
Mohsin Khan, who as interim head coach helped Pakistan complete a 3-0 Test-series sweep against the then world No.1 England in the United Arab Emirates early in 2012, termed the PCB’s coach hunt a “drama”.
“What was the point in lying to everyone? If they had already made up their mind on who they were going to pick, why did they advertise for the position of head coach?” Mohsin Khan asked at a press conference in Karachi.
It is worth mentioning here that Pakistan cricket chiefs on Tuesday appointed fast bowling legend Waqar Younis for a second spell as head coach.
