Wasim Bari terms http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128’s tenure as a blend of vices and virtues – Cricket News Update
Wasim Bari, the former skipper of Team http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755, has churned out that the tenure of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chief, Ijaz Butt, has been a mixture of good and bad things for the team and the game. He has revealed that along with the on-field victories,
there have been certain dressing room controversies too.
Bari, who is currently working as an Education Director with the PCB, has expressed these views while taking to The Daily Dawn of Pakistan.
He tells that the Men in Green have bagged some iconic successes in international competitions during Butt’s reign as the top administrator. He has cited the examples of Pakistan’s victory in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World T20 2011 and their excellent road to the semi-finals
round of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011.
However, he has highlighted that Butt’s administration has also propelled some managerial loopholes and rifts inside the team.
The notable example of the off-field disputes of the recent times is the row between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Waqar-Younis-Maitla-c96193, the coach, which has resulted in the resignation of the both---though the former links his ouster with personal reasons.
Bari has also recommended the PCB to replace the outgoing coach with some experienced and brilliant guy who can manage the team in a proper way. Citing an example from the international cricket, he tells that the new coach should be as talented as is the
English coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Andrew-Flower-c44362, who has taken the team from doom to boom in a short period of time.
The former captain has also predicted that Team Pakistan’s upcoming international season is going to be highly important for them as they have to struggle for regaining their lost pride in the comity of cricket.
The Green Shirts are scheduled to play three crucial series in this season. Starting from the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/United-Arab-Emirates-c3033 (UAE), the neutral venue.
Bari, the former top-order batsman, played 81 Test and 51 ODI matches for his national team, scoring 1366 and 221 runs respectively.
