He has strongly criticized the PCB for sacking coaches and players on the basis of results. Let us tell you that after disappointing performance in Asia Cup and ODI World Cup, Babar Azam stepped down from captaincy in all three formats. Changes were also seen in the coaching staff. Earlier, former team director Mickey Arthur has already told that players often give priority to ensuring their place in the team more than performance. Now there are indications that Arthur may return as team director again. Misbah, who held the charge as head coach and chief selector from 2019 to 2021, has criticized the PCB for its tendency to change staff frequently. This is a slap on our cricket system- Misbah Ul Haq Misbah was quoted by Hindustan Times as saying, if you look at the policies of the board, leave alone foreign coaches, I don’t think even our local coaches want to work with the PCB. Pakistan cricket should not be run in such a disorganized manner and we need to make long term plans to groom the team management, selectors and players. Unfortunately in Pakistan everything changes with a change in board leadership. He said that, we also have to look at the systems of some other countries which are successful. Why not, I think you can choose the best captain as per the needs of the format. If a player is free for, say, two months, then why should he not be allowed to go to the league and earn money, but yes, giving permission to the players before the World Cup was a big mistake. Misbah said, it is a slap on our cricket system that we are not able to find a high-profile full time coach. It is a shame that the best people do not want to come and we are insisting on bringing someone who is looking at Pakistan as another option.
