Pakistan cricket chief Ijaz Butt on Thursday named Abdul Qadir as the new chief selector, bringing the legendary Test leg-spinner in place of Saleem Jaffer, who was heading the national selection committee on an interim basis. Javed Miandad has also been appointed as the Director General of the cricket in the country and Aamir Sohail has been appointed in the academy.

This new team of veterans and the game players is a welcome sign and one hopes that the things will improve for the cricket in the country. Another welcome sign is that the government also shares the passion of cricket and they are also worried about its current plight and the future.

Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has agreed to get actively involved in the bid to save India’s cricket tour of Pakistan scheduled for early next year and will soon be discussing the issue with his counterpart Manmohan Singh. India’s tour is very important and it must happen.

Pakistan have not played a single Test in 2008 because of Australia’s refusal to tour this country on the pretext of security apprehensions earlier this year. Experts fear that if India also avoided their tour of Pakistan, then no leading cricket team will visit this country in the coming years.
