Legendary batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq has lashed out at the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and chief selector Mohammad Wasim for the team selection controversy.
Different media
reports suggested that head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and captain Babar Azam are
unhappy with the team selection for the upcoming tours of South Africa and
Zimbabwe.
Inzamam, while
talking on his YouTube channel, lashed out at PCB and Wasim for not satisfying
the captain with the squads announced on Friday.
“The important
thing is that team is selected with consultation,” he said. “I have already
said many times that the most important person is the captain. Chief selector
and coach are not the most important people. Babar is not impressed with the
team selection and Wasim is saying it’s not your concern. How can he say that? Sometimes
I am unable to understand what this board is actually doing.
“PCB’s every
decision is incorrect. They postponed the Pakistan Super League which surprised
me. They are unaware of the repercussion of such a step. Babar is unhappy, Wasim
is saying something else and the board is silent. I am telling you this thing
categorically that Wasim has been made the chief selector by some people and
those powers are controlling him. The board should open their eyes and should
think about what they want to do with cricket.”
The Men in Green are scheduled to face
South Africa in three ODIs and four T20Is after which they will travel to
Zimbabwe.
