Lahore : Chairman PCB Mr Mohsin Naqvi held a press conference afternoon, at the headquarters of Pakistan Cricket, Gaddafi Stadium. During the press conference, the chairman announced that the selection committee has been reorganised. Four members of the new selections committee \u2013 namely, Asad Shafiq, Wahab Riaz, Mohammad Yousuf and Abdul Razzaq \u2013 were also present at the press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have reorganised the selection committee. It will comprise seven members, and each will have equal power. There will be no Chief Selector so that there can be healthier debate. Each of the member selected to be part of the committee have been thoroughly deliberated upon. Four former players, the captain and head coach will also be part of the committee. A data analyst will also sit on the committee. There will be coordinators too, but they will not have voting power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe selection committee will make all the decisions going forward. I have conveyed that the chairman will not be involved in any decisions regarding the selection. I back this selection committee and believe that they will produce desirable results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also talked about finalising a panel of coaches, who would be working closely with the selection committee, \u201cWe will be sending some players to the PMA Kakul camp which I believe would have positive impact of the physical fitness of our players, as well as the team bonding. We are currently also working on finalising coaches. We will confirm the news whenever the time comes as I do not believe in making premature statements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe will have a panel of coaches, that will be permanent. We will make use of players sitting in the selection committee as well, like Mohammad Yousuf is currently attached with the Men\u2019s Under-19 team. I believe that people who understand our current crop of players \u2013 their strengths and weaknesses \u2013 should be employed to make sure we extract the most from our national team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe matter of captaincy is being deliberated upon. I believe that the captain is the selection committee\u2019s prerogative. They are working on it and I am sure they will finalise their decision after the camp is completed. But once the captain is finalised \u2013 whether it is Shaheen Shah Afridi or someone else \u2013 we will stick by him for a long time. No matter what the results are on the field, the selection committee will be held accountable. If the captain does not have a say in the team, you cannot hold him accountable as he leads the team. Same with the head coach, because he has to run the dressing room.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about Imad Wasim\u2019s decision to take back his retirement, the chairman said, \u201cOur focus right now is the World Cup and his inclusion makes the team stronger. We have not discussed NOCs with him but we want him to play for the country. It will be the same for the rest of players. As for Haris Rauf, there was some misunderstanding. His contract has been reinstated and we are currently working on his injury. He is our star player and we have to look after him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere will be no relaxation on NOCs. We will follow policies as per the contracts. No player will be exempted. We will not be paying heed to any lobbying.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
