Performance is only criteria for selection says http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-c77587 Khan of PCB - Cricket news
Chief Selector of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Khan-c71319, has said that performance is the key criteria for the selection of players for the Pakistan national team.
The former opening batsman feels that one has to take harsh decisions during the selection of the national team and it can be a very tough job at times. However, he said that a good selection committee is crucial in order to build a strong team.
Mohsin said, “The selection of players is quite a tough responsibility but it is imperative for keeping a strong national team.”
He also emphasised on the fact that fresh blood has to be included in Pakistan team, keeping future assignments in mind. He pointed at this as the primary reason why Pakistan have decided to try a number of youngsters during the tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
The Selection Committee headed by Khan named five uncapped players in the limited overs squad, including a replacement for the out of form wicketkeeper Kamran Akmal.
Faisalabad’s Mohammad Salman has been asked to show his skills behind the stumps. While Lahore’s young batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Usman-Salahuddin-c94700, fast bowlers Junaid Khan and Sadaf Hussain and all-rounder Hammad Azam are the other new players being given an opportunity
to showcase their cricket in the Caribbean.
Mohsin also denied the rumors that Umar Gul and Younis Khan have been dropped because of poor performances. He said that both the players are superstars and have won a lot of matches for the country and they have just been rested in order to get the best
out of them in the future.
The Chief Selector said that he always announces the team after consulting with the captain and the team management and it has always been a team effort.
He went on to praise the limited overs captain, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482, and said that the leg spinner is leading his young troops from the front and sets the example for others through his own performance.
The Men in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Green-c60723 have so far done well in the limited overs series as they are leading the ODIs 2-0 after a solitary loss in the only Twenty20 at St Lucia. Let’s hope that the Selection Committee of PCB remains consistent with its decision making and allows
the youngsters to prove their worth at the international level.
