Letter to the Patron-in-Chief of Pakistan Cricket Board, Mr. Asif Ali Zardari
Dear President Asif Ali Zardari,
As you may know, Ijaz Butt has had a very rough tenure as Chairman of the PCB and most of it has been his own doings. Pakistan is the only country in the world where the President holds the power to appoint the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, and
despite Pakistan cricket hitting a new low this summer, PCB under Ijaz Butt has shown that it is completely incompetent of dealing with the spot fixing allegations or other controversies for that matter.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128, has been ruling over the PCB carte blanche playing havoc and making appointments based on nepotism rather than merit. In the short span of time that he has been at the helm, PCB has quite literally been to the moon and back, and on their return
journey from their second trip to the moon, they find themselves running out of fuel. At this rate, the shuttle known as Pakistan cricket might either explode or implode into oblivion.
In two years under Ijaz Butt, Pakistan cricket has seen more controversies than the number of bullet holes one might find in a war zone. Such is the extent of the damage that this man has single-handedly caused to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 cricket.
It is a widely accepted fact, amongst mortals, who are endowed with a brain, that after 72 years of hard labour, the brain does not function as well as those that have seen fewer years. Do take council from less worn out brains lest the rust stalls the cogs
in a functioning mind. Petro companies have not yet invented a lubricant that could be poured into the brain from the ear to make the stalled rusted cogs of the mind working again. Had they done so it would have been a great favour for the future generations
of Pakistan.
Instead of replacing Mr Ijaz Butt, we could have simply used the lubricant to make his brain work. However, that has not happened yet.
Mr. President and patron-in-chief of PCB, kindly take a look at our haggard and woe begotten faces. We have swallowed and absorbed almost as much as we possibly could, and it is just a matter of time before we vomit out all the undigested news pertaining
to what could be called Pakistan cricket.
That, would not be good. Also if that happens, then we would expect the patron-in-chief to come forward and clean that mess. Mr. Ahmed Mukhtar, the honourable defence Minister of the land of the pure. The cricket fans all of us, collectively will pay one
rupee a month to Mr Ijaz Butt for his retirement fund, and hypothetically speaking if there are ten million cricket fans that is ten million rupees for the pension of Mr Ijaz Butt. Forgive us for the sins that we might have committed, and save us the torture
of seeing Pakistan cricket being sent to the gallows.
It has come to our knowledge that you might be considering the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ali-Khan-c996 Abbasi, and we look upon you imploringly to make your choice wisely for Chairman of the PCB. Please base your decision
on merit, choosing a candidate of impeccable character and moral integrity. Pakistan cricket is the face of this country the world over, and in the last two years the fans have suffered enough heartache to last a life time.
It has put a big blot on the achievement of the heroes of cricket from Pakistan, with the likes of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Fazal-c56914 Mehmood, Majid Khan, Zaheer Abbas, Imran Khan and many others who have given the best years of their lives to the game of cricket, and guess what? All
we care about is some good old fashioned cricket. We would like to place an order for unadulterated, uncorrupted fair and honest game of Pakistan cricket, free of the evils of nepotism and bias. Is that really too much to ask for Mr. President?
Yours sincerely,
ABC
