Ijaz played an important role in the Kiwi team’s historic 3-0 Test series win over India. This statement of Kaif has now suddenly come into limelight. In this match played at Wankhede Stadium, Ajaz Patel performed brilliantly and continued his excellent record. The New Zealand team became the first team to achieve a whitewash in a Test series of three or more matches on Indian soil. The feat was achieved largely thanks to his spin bowling, with Patel becoming the team’s leading wicket-taker in the series with 15 wickets, including 11 at the Wankhede Stadium alone. However, in a video shared on social media, Mohammad Kaif dismissed Patel’s achievements. Mohammad Kaif gave a surprising statement regarding Ejaz Patel In the video shared on his X account, Mohammad Kaif said, “Ajaz Patel did not bowl well. If you look at the pitch map, he bowled two full-toss, two short balls and two length deliveries, but still managed to take wickets. Bowlers like Ajaz Patel will be found in every local club.” Ajaz Patel has taken 23 wickets in two matches in Mumbai. However, till date he has not played even a test match on New Zealand soil. Kaif further said about Glenn Phillips, “Glenn Phillips is a part-timer and he does not know how to bowl good balls. We lost to part-timers, not quality spinners. People should say that Ajaz Patel has taken 22 wickets at Wankhede Stadium. He could not even land the ball properly. Ajaz Patel bowled only two good balls in an over and took wickets. The defeat in the final test is shameful. There were no good bowlers in the New Zealand team in the Mumbai Test. Kaif only praised Mitchell Santner, who took 11 wickets in Pune. Kaif said, “Santner bowled well. The bowling he bowled in Pune was a classic Test match performance.”

What is the condition of PCB! Now even local coaches do not want to work together.

(Image Source: Getty Images) Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has expressed deep concern over the frequent changes in the management and coaching staff of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). 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.
