Seize Fire between Anwar and Naseem
To the boredom of many, seize fire has been occurred between chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Dr. Naseem Ashraf and senator Anwar Baig, who is the member of sports committee of senate. But, this is a welcome step towards the betterment of the game, according to many sports analysts.
In a recent committee meeting of senate, Dr. Naseem Ashraf excused and decided to took back his case from the court against senator Anwar Baig, whereas also decided to took back his movement in the senate against the chairman.
Dr. Naseem Ashraf was appointed as a chairman PCB by the chief patren President Pervaiz Musharraf, whereas senator Anwar Baig is an honored veteran member of parliament. The ongoing flame war between two was causing an international scene, and the image of Pakistan was being tarnished. Indian Media was as usual spotlighting the issue in the negative sense.
But there still remain some burning questions intact. As in his allegations, senator Anwar Baig voiced his firm opinion that the current chairman is involve in corruption, and senator also demanded the audit of the accounts of PCB, now when they both have mended their ways, everything has become all-right?
There is also a lesson in this for the chairman PCB. He has shown his haste and stubbornness on many occasions in public. He is also in the habit of chewing up his words. He is posted on a responsible post, and he remains in the limelight every time, as the game of cricket is very popular in the Pakistan. He should take utmost care in retaliating against any allegations by anyone, and should show a calm and solid composure. His outbursts only aggravate the matter more.
chairman PCB’s short tenure is littered with such outbursts. First he blasted Sarfraz Nawaz in front of media, and stressed media to publish his blast against Sarfraz Nawaz. Last year, chairman also said some very stern words for Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammad Asif in the wake of doping case, which wasn’t liked by the majority of nation. Recently he bashed former cricketers and said very rude words against them.
Voicing opinion is the right of any individual, but there should be a code of conduct. Throwing mud on others, and using the degraded words isn’t in the interest of chairman or PCB. Everyone knows that in the ad-hoc culture of PCB, everything is one man show, and so only one man is considered responsible for everything, and that is our chairman PCB, so he must realize the wind, and adopt a professional approach in running the affairs.

I appreciate PCB decision to appoint Younis Khan as a vice captain of our cricket team.
PCB needs to crack down player’s mafia or Favoritism on national level.
All this favoritism causes to build player mafia.
Kamran Akaml,Salman Butt,Imran Nazir,Misba-ul-Haq and Abdur Rehman do not deserve position in the team on merit.
But unfortunately merit is not the part of our current system.
Every one knows in the Pakistan cricket team that Misba is an old buddy of Shoaib Malik.
Imran Nazir and Abdur Rehman both play for the same local team as Shoaib Malik.
Kamran Akmal is also in the good book of Malik.
I wonder, is there a man in Pakistan luckier than Kamran Akmal?
Sarfraz Ahmed or Salman should replace Kamran Akmal.
PCB can break player mafia by implementing merit system.
what are the criteria to select team for an Indian tour?
Here what great Javed Miandad said about two very talented players?
Cricket followers were surprised at the exclusion of talented batsmen Khurram Manzoor, Khalid Latif for the South Africa series and now for the tour of India.
Asim Kamal contained highest averages against Australia, India and South Africa.
Against India his average is over 50.
48.50 against Austrlia and 46 against South Africa.

But he was not given chance against SA and now his name is not in one day squad of an Indian tour.
I hope PCB will include him in test squad.
He is far better than Misba-ul-Haq.
After wonderful record in test cricket, Asim should not ask to proof his performance.
PCB should give proper chance to Fawad Alam.
21 years old Fawad is a young and talented left arm bowler with strong batting and fielding skills.
But why selectors or captain preferd 30 years old Abdur Rehman in the team.
Is it the future planning?
