Was painful watching Pakistan in Asia Cup: PCB chief

Mar 05, 2016, 22:00

Former star player of Pakistan cricket team Mohammad Ilyas on Saturday has advised the team to not participate in World Twenty20 to be held in India without ensuring foolproof security.

Speculations are strong that the PCB might ask Afridi to step down as captain himself so that they can appoint vice-captain wicketkeeper Sarfaraz Ahmed in his place for the World T20 when the team returns from Bangladesh later this week before going to India.

But speculations still continued over Afridi's future as board insiders said that during deliberations on the team's performance in the Asia Cup majority had felt that the all-rounder was not pulling his weight.

Shahid Afridi's side lost to India and Bangladesh which led to early exit of the team.

Shahid Afridi told the waiting reporters at the airport that he was in Karachi for a couple of days and may be holding a press conference about World Twenty20. "Credit to the captain, coaching staff and team management".

He said: "I am ready to serve Pakistan cricket but I need to be given a proper timetable".

The plan has the support of Venstre, the Danish People's Party, the Social Democrats, the Conservatives and the Social Liberals (Radikale), ensuring that it will pass.

Pakistan failed to enter the final of the Asia Cup T20 but Afridi said that they are still a good side. "Cricket pundits and senior players should instead be boosting the team's moral".

"I don't know from where these speculative things come up because nothing of this sort happened. I am ready to work in any capacity but first someone needs to offer me a proper role", he said.

Akram also said about his former fast bowling colleague and the present head coach of the team, Waqar Younis that he needed to give more time to watching domestic matches. Injuries are the main issues, we haven't been able to get the best combination as a result.
