Chief Selector Mohsin Khan mocked for being a dummy
In an unprecedented move, the Chief selector of Pakistan Cricket, Mohsin Hassan Khan came under fire by journalists, during a press conference for being unprofessional and a dummy selector. Most journalists and former cricketers
believe that Ijaz Butt is a one man army in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 cricket board (PCB) and all major decisions are taken by the flamboyant Chairman himself leaving the Chief selector merely as a dummy.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-c77587 Khan acting strongly against this behaviour from the journalists refused to bow down and made it clear that he was not a puppet and knows how to conduct his responsibilities.
The sharp criticism came after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in the UAE with the domestic T20 series still going on. Experts believe that is it unfair for
the domestic players and there should some sort of encouragement for the players to perform well in the domestic series so that they can make it to the national squad.
Previously Moshin Khan has also been criticized by Coach Waqar Younis and Captain http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 for not consulting the team management while selecting the team. However, Khan claimed that the captain was not decided at the time
of selection and the coach was out of the country but they were consulted once they were available. Previously, Mohsin Khan claimed in a hearing before the standing committee of sports in the National Assembly that it was not obligatory for him to consult
the coach and captain.
The selection of Younis Khan further proved the point that Chairman Cricket Board http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128 was running the show and not Mohsin Khan as selection of Younis Khan was possible only after the nod from Ijaz Butt. On Wednesday, in a
meeting Ijaz Butt and Younis Khan brushed their differences aside which paved the way for Younis’s return in the Pakistani side.
Mohsin Khan reacted sharply at this allegation, but agreed that there are certain limitations under which a selector has to work but this did not mean in any way that he was biased and unprofessional, Mohsin also defended the selection
of the team before the conclusion of the domestic T20 claiming that the focus of selection was not T20 but Tests and ODIs. Mohsin however, did acknowledge that the final approval comes from the Chairman Cricket Board.
