Ehsan Mani suggests Zaka Ashraf no to meddle into the team’s affairs – Cricket News Update
The former Pakistani International Cricket Council (http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ashraf-c46397, to avoid dealing with the team affairs and the players directly, but create a specialised cricket
wing inside the board to deal with all issues.
Mani is of the view that Zaka, like the past heads, will tarnish his credibility and put the team into chaos by prying at petty issues. According to him, the new chairman should merely struggle to run the body in a fair way and bring International cricket
back to the country.
Talking to the media yesterday, the ex-ICC boss said, “I would just suggest him to leave the job of managing team affairs and dealing directly with the players to a specialised cricket wing. He should set up a specialised cricket wing in the board which
should only be dealing with the team and players related issues and should be run by former players.”
Mani pressed the PCB to revive its ties with the ICC and other cricket bodies with a view to end International cricket blackout from Pakistan.
“Most important for him is to bring back international cricket to Pakistan, which Butt could not do,” stated the cricket expert.
The green nation has not hosted a single foreign team since March 2009, when team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 was molested here in Lahore, Pakistan. The fateful terrorist attack killed at least seven on spot and left many other injured, including some of the visiting players
and their support staff.
Mani also censured the PCB for showing untoward flexibility to avert the corrupt practices like spot-fixing which rendered the trio including http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salman-Butt-c2418 illegible to play professional cricket, and earned sheer disrepute
to Pakistan.
He told, “The board could have been more proactive. It is shameful that today these players have to appear in a crown court facing criminal charges."
In the end, he advised the board to push the ICC to outlaw any type of political influence in cricket so that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 restored their bilateral cricketing relations.
