Prime Minister’s Zarb-e-Azab..!

 

Dear Mr. Prime Minister,

AoA.

Sir,

I take this opportunity to invite your kind attention, towards the press release issued by the PCB (published in the daily “Dawn” dated 13 June, 2015) on the findings (submitted on 4th April, 2015 i.e., well before the BD tour) of the World Cup-2015 debacle Review Committee (RC) of the PCB, which consisted of 80% or four PCB’s own personnel (M/s Shahryar Khan, Najam Sethi, Subhan Ahmad & Iqbal Qasim) and only 20% or ONE external member, Mr. Wasim Bari.

According to the above mentioned press release of the PCB, the RC found the following 5 reasons of the Pakistan’s downfall, at this years World Cup:

1. Poor fielding.
2. Low fitness.
3. Inconsistent selection.
4. Lack of positive approach.
5. Dearth of strategic thinking.

Furthermore, the RC held the following responsible for the Pakistan’s poor performance:

1. Players.
2. Coaches.
3. Selectors.
4. THOSE RUNNING AFFAIRS OF THE BOARD.

Mr. Prime Minister, Sir, there is no need to remind you that leaving aside the World Cup debacle, our nation was even more badly humiliated by the pathetic performance of our cricket team, during the recently concluded tour of the Bangladesh, which CLEARLY proved that either the people at the helm of the affairs of the PCB, were absolutely nincompoop; or they were NOT ready to learn any lessons from the World Cup debacle.

Now, a stage has come where the PCB has virtually turned into a torture giving and insult inflicting organisation, for the cricket loving masses of Pakistan; who can only vent their anger, by not calling your government with good names.

Sir, as a غیرت مند قوم we can digest defeats in sports field, but can never forgive and forget those responsible for bringing heaps of shame and humiliation, to the name and prestige of Pakistan.

Now, since the OWN Review Committee of the PCB has held responsible “THOSE RUNNING AFFAIRS OF THE BOARD” and after this verdict against their own-selves, the PCB top notches have not yet resigned, it is time for striking your Zarb-e-Azab, on the whole rotting edifice of the PCB.

You are requested to IMMEDIATELY dissolve the Board of Governors of the PCB; and please Mr. PM, this time, set an example of NOT APPOINTING as head of the ad-hoc PCB board, from amongst your RELATIVES or FRIENDS.

Rather, the new head of the PCB may be a VISIONARY person, who is ready to accept the challenge of turning (in one year) the PCB into a world class organisation.

This goal can be easily achieved by splitting the cricket board in two units of Administrative Affairs & Cricketing Affairs, headed by persons with the designations of Director General, who are known for their competence, integrity and honesty.

The new head of the PCB must only be appointed, when you are personally satisfied about his capabilities, after his one on one, interview with you.

The DG Cricketing Affairs must also be a legendary competent Pakistani cricketer.

Wishing you all the success in your endeavours to make Pakistan, the best of the best in the world.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad
