Iqbal Qasim quits as Chief Selector, will Ijaz Butt do the hourable thing too?

Finally someone showing some responsibility, Its a good news and great to see it happening in Pakistan especially .

I was watching the Ary news and it has been confirmed, while Muhammad Ilyas was quoted saying that Qasim should not resign as its not his fault but the teams fault that they lost the series, This Ilyas guy is a clown and instead of steping down he is backing Qasim to take back his resignation.

I think ejaz butt has also to Quit as chairman pakistan cricket board.
Now we want new faces in Board as well as in team.
which only perform his duty for the success of pakistan not for money

We should just go back to the team we had a year back.. selection comittee, captain.

Dear
Chairman of Crikcet Board Play a Key Role In The Cricket of any team.
Because if chairman arranged deserve selection commete
Then the commete will select deserve players.
and then players will perform on the field.
I only dislike ejaz butt as chairman because he doesn't Play any role For the good future of Pakistan cricket.
he just making friends and visits
Thats all

Its Simple
The Team Selection Not Select Players On Merit.
Look at Asim kamal, yasir hameed, imran nazir, sohail tanveer
These Players continuesly perform well in domestic level cricket.
On which thing they are not in the Current squad.
Whats The Reason.
Thats why all the credit goes to Selection commete for its bad selection.

Who needs EastEnders when you have a PCB show full of drama .

seriously this is a circus isn't it?

Just before you know we are at the bottom, we are still falling lol

But I must say I am happy with this decision that he has quit, now Inti and Butt need to go, want to see Aamir Sohail, Abdul Qadir, and Ehsan Mani there..would be ideal for Pakistan cricket!

Ijaz Butt is no visionary and he's not very good either like say Shehryar Khan... but I think to an extent the PCB heads are made scapegoats by Pak fans, media, etc now. it is fashionable to blame the PCB for EVERYTHING. what can Ijaz Butt do if 6 out of 11 players want to be captain and are happy to underperform to sabotage the other contenders? actually I take that back... what he can do is discipline them... which is what he has done and is still getting flak for it.

Ijaz Butt could turn water into wine but people would still complain that the wine wasn't... fancy enough... or whatever makes wine better.

I read Wasim's opinion on the PCB. and he said that some ex-cricketers will criticize the PCB no matter what it does - until they themselves become paid members of the PCB at which point sab accha hai. take Miandad for example. the guy is always whining... and yet is also part of the board setup. like wtf!!!

I get it the guy hit a very important six, won many matches and a world cup.. but he won them on the field. his on-field achievements don't qualify him for a management role. management should be left to people with management experience/education, MBAs, experience running large organizations effectively, etc.

and unfortunately, some of the guys who are perceived to be honest folks have some serious questions marks attached to them with regard to their temperament if not their integrity as well. for example, Rashid Latif might be a very honest guy but he is just as emotional if not more than Younis Khan. can we really afford a guy like Rashid in the PCB who is ALWAYS in the news? the PCB needs dignified people like Asif Iqbal who can put their head and work without needing to be in the news all the time. Rashid can't live without the limelight.

and then there is Aamir Sohail. the guy talks a good game. and yes, he was one of the fighters against match fixing which gives him credibility. but this is the same guy who handed out caps as if it they were on sale. he picked and dumped players if all cricket was going to end soon so everyone should get a turn. and this is also the guy who picked that bipolar retard Tauqeer Zia's incompetent son. that was the worst, most blatant case of nepotism I have ever seen. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. first I thought it is impossible to do something so retarded in this day and age and get away with it. then, I thought okay maybe the guy really has some talent... but the guy was useless. how can Aamir Sohail retain any credibility after that stunt?

and it goes without saying that he absolutely loves controversy... is provocative... always was in the news for the wrong reasons. and probably still is to an extent. not what PCB needs right now.

PCB needs low key people who're happy to stay in the background and do their work. bring in guys like Asif Iqbal, Rameez Raja, etc to handle the cricket side. and leave the business/management to people with business experience and education... though some like Rameez Raja can cross the boundary owing to their management education and experience as cricketers.

I just want some controversy free period. do not want to hear a peep out of anyone. everyone in PCB, Pak cricket, team, ex-players just stfu for like say six months. not a word. that would be heaven.

I agree with MT on most of the accounts specially the bit about Pakistan fans always blaming PCB every time the team fails. I would like to point one thing out of his post though, where he has ripped apart most of the people who mean well for Pakistan cricket but not Asif Iqbal and Rameez Raja.

First of Asif Iqbal has a shady past with involvements in match fixing. Same for Rameez Raja besides the fact that when Rameez Raja was involved in PCB set up last time around there were allegations (with proof) of misappropriation against him.

I will admit that I have a soft spot for Asif Iqbal. yes, I've heard/read the rumors as well. but there is just something about the man. he's just so reserved, dignified and elegant. he chooses his words very carefully. he is a rare educated and dignified ex-cricketer along with Imran, Majid, Wasim Raja, etc. so I give him the benefit of the doubt. maybe that makes me a hypocrite. but I still have tons of respect for Asif sahib.

I'm not a fan of Rameez - the player or the commentator. but in his time in the PCB, we saw some rare stability. maybe the credit for that goes to Shehryar Khan... but again I'm giving Rameez some credit for bringing in Bob and adding some stability to the setup.

I just want to see people who think before they speak, people who are reserved, people who are professional. people who are mature, sensible, etc. can you imagine if you work at a bank and have a bad day that you call up the press and biatch about your boss about how old he is and how cannot get up and down the stairs and is going senile? if you can't, then, why should Aamir Sohail, Qadir, Miandad be allowed to do that?

Aamir Sohail now talks about giving time to whoever you pick as player or captain and supporting/sticking with him. well what did Aamir do when he was chief selector? he was picking and dropping players as if he was changing shirts.

I am not even going to say anything about Qadir and Miandad. except to say that they may have aged physically... but their mental age has not kept pace.

yes, I agree about that. I guess I've tried to forget that tragedy and embarrassment. but if there was one reason for Butt to lose his job, it was the Lahore attacks. he should have been sacked for that.

but I will disagree with Butt having to go for the performance of the team. while I don't like adhocism and all the power over pure cricketing matters such as choosing the captain, etc that the chairman has, I don't think any chairman can automatically improve the performance of the team. even Shehryar Khan who I'm a big fan of shouldn't get credit for the team's success. he should get credit for bringing in Woolmer and not sacking Inzi 50 times every month as per the demands of Pakistani fans.

the board chairman's only job should be on the management side and providing stability. he should have nothing to do with picking certain players, choosing the captain, etc. and he should not get credit or blame for the team's on-field success or failure. his job should be to create an environment off the field for players to excel and to manage domestic cricket.

or dies. Who'll go first Mugabe or Ijaz Butt. I'd be quite happy for Butt to bet on that and 'spot-fix' the result.

Most of the Pakistanis are think skin. They will never quit till they are kicked out. All our politicians and generals they stick to their seats till it becomes inevitable. Same is the case with most of the nation.

Mr ijjaz butt what clown a chairman of PCB,shows total disrespect for his Hosts,the Yorkshire ccc at Headingley, On thursday Pakistan vs Australia, i was eye witness at lunch ,Mr Colin Graves of Yorkshire cc introduced every body distinghuished former players ray illingworth,geoffery Boycott,Dickie Bird,and rest and then he said we have Mr ijaz Butt with us from PCB,he was no where to be seen, He was two seats reserved for him and his wife.but he was in next room with his entourage, I did pointed this out mr subhan one of official of PCB, Bearing in mind when this guy is on tour then he is ambassador of his country
