http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128 warns PCB of grouping among players – Cricket News Update
Former chief executive of PCB, Ijaz Butt, has pointed out that recalling troubled players like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abdul-Razzaq-c41623 will resurrect the grouping issues within the national side, after all were named in the 30-man probable list for the
World T20 Cup.
Highlighting an incident from the recent past, Butt stated that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Umar-Akmal-c94595 made a false injury claim and opted to sit out a match after his elder brother was sidelined due to bad performance.
“I’ve heard that discipline issues are creeping up in the team again,” Butt said.
“I took strict action against the players involved but now they’re being recalled that may create a similar situation again. For instance, the decision to recall Kamran, who was sidelined during my tenure because of indiscipline, is a strange one. When
he was dropped after poor performance in a Test against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, Umar feigned injury to protest against his brother’s omission. We took strict action against both and such decisions helped us curb player-power,” the former chief revealed.
The national team has suffered from player-power in the past, which has evidently affected their performances on the field. However, under current leader, Misbah, the team has shown greater consistency and sound team bonding. The ex-chief nonetheless, feels
that bringing in senior players will only lead to disharmony, while further criticizing the approach of the selectors to consider experience over youth.
Butt firstly questioned the exclusion of left-armer, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758, where the pacer took two five-wicket hauls. Also with insipid displays from Mohammad Sami, the former
chairman was further left bemused by the vision of the management.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 has been performing exceptionally well in T20 World Cups, reaching at least the semi-final stage on all three occasions. They will be hoping to perform well in the upcoming series against Australia and take that confidence into the mega event, which
starts from September 18.
