Loud Thinking

The PCB battalion for the UAE series Vs Australia : Action speaks louder than the words

The honourable Chairman of the PCB and highly experienced and respected Pakistani diplomat, Mr. Shaheryar Khan is reported to have said (after the Sri Lanka surrender) that he was against too many persons travelling with the team on foreign tours.

Now, the question arises that how much pruning has been done in reducing the number of people who travelled with the team to Sri Lanka; and are now having a joy ride/paid holiday to the UAE, with the team for the series against Australia: where going by the trend of the team and deeds of the PCB, match results may be hardly different from the achievements, gained in Sri Lanka.

Please note that the following list of the team management, does not include the name of director international PCB, Mr. Zakir Khan, who was already based in the UAE, even before the arrival of the Pakistani team, in the UAE on 1 October, 2014.

Since, actions speaks louder than the words, if I were the type of chairman PCB, whose strings were pulled by one of his subordinates, I would never have have issued any statement condemning that too much staff having a joyride/ paid holiday (without any output) was not acceptable for me.

I wonder how much correct was Laurence J. Peter when he said “Everyone rises to their level of incompetence.”
