Misbah-ul-Haq is a 'yes man', grouches Mohsin Khan

Many former Pakistan cricketers and claiming Misbah-ul-Haq's selection as a head coach and chief selector to be not on merit and only because he follows the orders of PCB without any intervention. One such former cricketer is Mohsin Khan who believes that Misbah-ul-Haq is undeserving of these positions and feels that he is the main reason for Pakistan's poor run of form off-late. Misbah has been severely criticized for his team selection for the Australian tour and many believe that Sarfaraz Ahmed has been made a scapegoat and forcefully shown the exit door.

Mohsin was a member of the Cricket Committee which was accountable for the decisions taken by the coaches and the selectors. When the Pakistan team were performing poorly before the World Cup, he requested the Chairman Ehsan mani to fix meeting with head coach Mickey Arthur and chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq to discuss about the squad's performance. But all is requests were ignored due to which he resigned from the post. He believes the Cricket Committee is just an eyewash as the real authority lies with the Chairman and other board officials as they vetoed the selection of seniors Mohammad Hafeez and Shoaib Malik even though Misbah and captain bbar Azam wanted them in the squad.

“But at least thrice after the cricket committee was formed and before the World Cup I requested the board that I and other members of the committee would like to have discussions with the head coach, Mickey Arthur and chief selector, Inzamam-ul-Haq after the team continued to perform badly. On all three times the board made excuses and didn’t arrange the meetings which disappointed me a lot," he added.

“I felt the committee (which also included Wasim Akram and Misbah-ul-Haq) was an eye wash and the real powers lay with the Chairman and his officials. As soon as I resigned they made the committee active because they had decided to change the coaching staff of the Pakistan team after the World Cup,” he concluded.
