Loud Thinking

Respected Mr. Imran Khan Sahab.

AoA.

Sir,

Your kind attention is invited towards the following link of a news item published by the daily “Telegraph” on 3 December 2019:

Link:- https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2019/12/03/pakistani-tycoon-hands-50m-london-house-140m-accounts-record/

Your kind attention is also invited towards the following two paragraphs of the above mentioned news link:

1. The deal with the family of Malik Riaz Hussain did not find any guilt and will see the money “returned to the State of Pakistan,” a statement said.

2. He (Malik Riaz) said after Tuesday’s settlement was announced: “I sold our legal and declared property in UK to pay £190m to Supreme Court Pakistan against Bahria Town Karachi.

Mr. Prime Minister, it is clear without any doubt from the above news that the NCA of U.K. will return $190 million (confiscated from Malik Riaz Hussain in U.K.) straightaway to STATE OF PAKISTAN.

Sir, you as the top most custodian of every penny of the State of Pakistan must ensure that this recovery proceed of £ 190 million being handed over to the GoP by the NCA of U.K. is NOT returned back to Malik Riaz Hussain (on any pretext) and no one in your government is allowed by any trick or logic to AGAIN cheat the State of Pakistan, as already this £190 million was once stolen out of Pakistan.

Last but not the least, this nation of 220 million population specially thanks you for bringing back from overseas, its looted money, which was also the fulfilment of your biggest promise with the nation, for which you and your party deserves profound congratulations. Remember, Modi despite his tall claims, could not bring back a single penny, during his sixth year of continuous rule in India.

Best Regards,

Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Suggested eleven for the Adelaide Test in Batting Order:

1. Shan Masood 

2. Abid Ali

3. Babar Azam

4. Asad Shafiq

5. Rizwan 

6. Azhar Ali (since he is out of form he must bat lower down the order to have any justification to remain in the team)

7.   Yaser Shah

8.   Shaheen Shah Afridi

9.   Muhammad Abbas

10. Naseem Shah

11.  Musa Khan

This series is being played under Test matches championship arrangement and the latest standing of Test teams on points is as below:

1. India                    360 (Rest of the team’s combined points total is 292)

2. Australia               116

3. NZ                          60

4. SL                           60

5. England                  56

6. Pakistan                   0

7. West Indies              0

8. BD                            0

9. SA                            0

Under the circumstances Pakistani team is in a do or die situation, as it must win the Adelaide Test to draw the series to get 60 points.

As such, we should break the tradition of playing with six regular batsmen and a wicker keeper and four regular bowlers.

We must play the Adelaide Test in a changed/aggressive/positive frame of mind, with five regular bowlers in the team, to attack in an all out manner,  to get 20 Australian wickets in the match. Otherwise, also with six regular batsmen and an accomplished keeper batsman, we lost the Brisbane Test with a huge margin of an innings and five runs. So, this time, why not put an extra emphasis on twice getting out the Australians in the second Test, with five regular bowlers in our team. 

As far as batting is concerned, if six recognised batsmen can’t put up a decent score, playing seventh batsmen is no guarantee/recipe for putting up a winning total. As an Army plans in war, any offensive needs extra troops to boost chances of overwhelming the enemy.

My dear countrymen,

AoA.

I take this opportunity to earnestly appeal every Pakistani living in Pakistan and abroad to kindly join hands in forcing all the politicians (in government and in the opposition) to shun politics from the development of Pakistan, for the sake of our coming generations.

Our country of 220 million population can only move forward, if it is absolutely united and totally focussed, on economic emancipation of the teeming millions, rather than busy in infighting and planning to topple one government, after the other.

A time has come for all of us to forgive and forget everyone, without any exception, to make a new and fresh start, as if, Pakistan was created today.

In this regard, It is the cardinal responsibility of the ruling leadership to unite the country and involve each and every person in the nation building, which is not the job of years, but of decades.

Without the involvement of every Pakistani in nation building, there is no other way we can take Pakistan to the comity of developed nations.

We have already wasted all the 73 years, after the independence of Pakistan, in the unaffordable luxury of POLITICS.

Let us now put the horse of “nation building” before the cart and shun politics for a few decades, by way of complete and absolute involvement of every segment of society, cutting across the lines of party or any other politics of cast, creed, religion and colour etc.

As such, first we need to involve the entire intelligentsia of Pakistan from government, as well as, opposition side, including all learned Pakistanis from the academia in Pakistan and abroad, to compile a Charter of Development for Pakistan (CODP2020), for the next 100 years.

However, the above proposed (CODP2020 -2120) should have a base to compile and work upon, for which it is suggested to form the Task Forces (mostly to be HEADED by non-PTI non-government members, but PTI and government experts should be members of these Task Forces) on the following subjects, to submit their reports to the Prime Minister, for jumpstarting engine of growth and development of our motherland, in maximum 20 days (even if they have to work day and night).

1. ‪Suggestions for development road map for advanced technologies like Robotics & Artificial Intelligence.

2. Suggestions for utilising social media power and out of box and innovative ways for Population Control.

3. Eradication of Radicalism and elimination of Extremism, increasing Crimes against females and Child population (like acid throwing and child abuse and molestation) & Control of Terrorism.

4. Ways for implementation of Rule of Law for everyone without exception and Legal, Jail and Judicial Reforms.

5. Proposals for Police Reforms for creating a modern times Policing and revamping of driving license issuance system to bring it at par with the best of the world standards.

6. Enhancement (specially in the future technological fields) of defence capabilities with special reference to countering the use of 5th & 6th generation war tactics by enemies and use of upper space technologies for defence of motherland and ways for creation of culture of discipline and fitness among the entire male and female population of the country, by compulsory military enrolment in National Guards Service for three years.

7. Suggest ways for a fast track elimination of Polio, Hepatitis and HIV/AIDS by utilising the benefits of social media. Also suggest emergency ways how to make DRUG FREE, our new/young generation (in educational institutions and in society) of boys and girls in particular and overall country population in general.

8. Plans for water conservation and floods control and approvals/consensus for building of future dams and compulsory rain water harvest decisions.

9. Development plans of Alternative Energy Resources, with time bound targets.

10. Suggestions for how to create a culture of R&D in the Educational and Industrial sectors?

11. Blue print for how to make use of Information Technology towards the quest of achieving a quantum leap from the primitive agricultural practices towards the modern agricultural systems, specially for the small holdings poor farmers?

12. Blue print of how to turn around Pakistan into a modern industrial & technological giant and to have a Labour Policy commensurate to that status?

13. Policy for modern practices for Mining & Rare Earth Metals (REM), which can turnaround Pakistan as the richest nation of the world, with its current hidden wealth of over $ 51 trillion, which can be compared with the current total GDP ($58 trillion) of the top 10 countries of the world. This huge wealth can help us a lot in our ascendency in control of the world from the upper space in the coming decades.

14. Proposals for Telecom Policy with special focus on 5G & 6G and its usage in population control, health issues and alleviation of poverty.

15. Proposals for Development of Services Sector. It will not out of place to mention that share of services sector in the GDP of USA is 80%.

16. Suggestions for development of Medium and Small Scale industrial base, in a given time frame.

17. Suggestions for world level Tourism facilities, Hotels & Air Taxi services for inaccessible areas.

18. Blue print of Modern Aviation Policy.

19. Suggestions for attaining world’s leadership role in the fields of Science, Technology & Space Research and how to make SUPARCO a world class organisation with active participation of private sector resources.

20. Revamping on modern lines of Real Estate & Buildings Constructions policy and rules already in practice in the modern countries.

21. Practical and doable proposals for our new Education system for the next 100 years with the aim of 100% literacy & minimising the physical burden of books over the back of the child students by using Information Technology.

22. Suggestions for Modern Health policy and facilities for all (particularly for the rural population) with special emphasis on general fitness of population with motto of “Prevention is better and cheaper than cure.”

23 Suggestions for maximising e-commerce trade, plastic Banking, Insurance & Investment facilities (specially in the Stock Exchanges) for the poor masses; and quantum increase proposals for foreign exchange remittances from the expatriate nationals. Also to submit proposals for minimising smuggling of contraband items in Pakistan.

24. Suggestions for building sports cities in the far flung areas (to involve maximum rural youth population) of the country and proposals for the development of sports industry and capabilities of our prowess in the modern Olympic Games.

28.Suggestions for reduction of taxes & their rates, proposals for minimising corruption in society, increasing tax and non tax revenue and suggestions for fast track Poverty Alleviation from our society.

29. Suggestions for a modern environment policy which must have the participation of entire 220 million population with extremely harsh and severe unpardonable penalties ranging from Rigorous imprisonments to death sentence.

30. Suggestions for urgent steps to bring to Pakistan an Autonomous Transportation System (fuel less and driver less).

31. Suggestions for devising a new Foreign Policy mainly based on furthering economic interests on Pakistan.

32. Suggestions for development of Pakistan as a top nation producing Halal foods.

33. Suggestions for development of modern and innovative Privatisation Policy to immediately cut the losses of billions of Rupees being incurred by SOE’s.

34. Proposals for controlling with an iron hand the menace of adulteration of food/edible items and fake medicines etc. (which creates a major burden on our health sector budget) with most harsh unpardonable penalties up-to the death sentence.

35. Proposals for improvements in the following sectors:

~ Accountability of all citizens without any exception and free of any influence.

~ Current Parliamentary System of Pakistan.

~ How to implement the proposal of converting every division into a province, unit or riasat.

~ Current Bureaucratic structure, workings and efficacy of Public Service Commissions and any benefits of direct hirings of experts/technocrats at all levels of government positions.

~ Benefits of outsourcing the job of FBR to some capable private entity which should guarantee 100% increase in tax revenue in two years time.

Pakistani Test squad selected for the Australian series starting from 21 November 2019 – Comments and proposals

Test Squad:
Test squad-Azhar Ali (captain), Abid Ali, Asad Shafiq, Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, Imam-ul-Haq, Imran Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed , Kashif Bhatti, Mohammad Abbas, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Musa Khan, Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Shan Masood, Yasir Shah

1. Azhar Ali He is the first Pakistani batsman to hit a double-hundreds in Test in Australia and he is the first visiting opener who made a double-hundred at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. We pray and hope that Azhar Ali will lead the team with even better examples of his performances in the four Test match innings. In any team game there is no better tonic for its members than outstanding performance of its leader.

2. Abid Ali He has proved his mettle in the ODI version. Now PCB has reposed confidence in his abilities for the Test matches. It is hoped that he will come out with flying colours from the toughest test of his life which will automatically catapult him to overnight stardom. Not selecting Abid Ali for the T20 matches squad is another proof of the failure of the chief selector, immaturity and lack of acumen of the new T20 captain, absolute oversight failure of the highly paid CEO PCB and total collapse of command of the exalted office of the chairman PCB.

3. Asad Shafiq An automatic choice for selection in the Test squad.

4. Babar Azam He is the only cricketer in Pakistan who can get automatic selection in any team of the world.

5. Haris Sohail In recent times he has successfully worked hard to improve his game and has earned permanent selection in the Test team. Mind it he is NOT T2O material where he has been selected without any understanding of the game by the PCB stalwarts.

6. Imam ul Haq Either Fawad Alam or Sami Aslam should have selected in place of Imam ul Haq who also needs a lot of improvement in his fielding abilities. But the biggest tragedy has been his selection in the T20 squad.

7. Imran Khan He has been recalled after a long absence and is a shining example of the chief selectors poor judgement. PCB must repeat must intervene immediately to correct this grave selection blunder and replace him with Haris Rauf.

8. Iftikhar Ahmad Absolutely wrong choice of the chief selector keeping in view of the availability of better options viz. Muhammad Nawaz and Omar Khan.

9. Kashif Bhatti There was hardly any justification for including an uncapped player who is in his 34th year. This investment is highly unjustified considering that 29 years accomplished player Junaid Khan has been ignored.

10. Muhammad Abbas Fit selection, however, our bowling coach should teach him to increase his speed to at least 135 KMPH and batting coach should work with him to improve his below average batting abilities.

11. Muhammad Rizwan He has earned his selection and now must prove his abilities as wicket keeper cum batsman in the Test arena.

12. Musa Khan Correct selection and now onus is on the bowling coach to fine tune his skills to destroy the batting line up of the Australian team with his speed and in the air movement specially in the day night pink ball Test match.

13. Naseem Shah He is youngest player in the squad at the age of 16+ years (DoB 15 February 2003). However, not considering for selection Haris Rauf and Junaid Khan is unpardonable act of the chief selector and CEO PCB who must be made answerable for these unexplainable selection blunders.

14. Shaheen Shah Afridi Right selection of a very deserving player.

15. Shan Masood Either of three batsmen viz. Umar Amin/Ehsan Ali/Khurram Manzoor should have been preferred over selection of Shan Masood.

16. Yasir Shah Automatic choice of the ace spinner of Pakistan.
Syed Nayyar Uddin Ahmad

Comments and proposals for selection of our T20 squad selected for the Australian series starting from 3 November 2019

T20 Squad:

1. Babar Azam (Captain) Too docile and shy personality who should have been given the experience to lead against the Sri Lankan team to gain some mastery over the leadership job to perform better in Australia. Here, the head of think tank (cricket committee) Mr. Waseem Khan failed pathetically to prove his mettle as visionary leader of an huge organisation of the country. CEO is not there to just hire and fire people but to set the objectives/goals of an organisation and determine how to meet it.

2. Fakhar Zaman A product of expired shelf life. Abid Ali, Awais Zia, Umar Amin or Imran Farhat are still much better choice than risking to open the innings with FZ.

3. Haris Suhail A fit player for Test team and not a T20 material at world stage.

4. Iftikhar Doesn’t possess the calibre of a player who should be in the world # 1 ranked team.

5. Imad Wasim Looks out of form and not fully fit.

6. Imam ul Haq He is not at all the batsman for T20 format plus a below standard fielder. His selection is the biggest blunder of the selection committee. He may be a huge liability for our team in Australia.

7. Khushdil Shah Before selecting him for the Australian tour he should have been tested against the Sri Lankan team, which proves haphazard and unplanned way of PCB’s working style.

8. Muhammad Amir He has finished his shelf life for performing at world level and bowling as if he has been forced to do his job.

9. Muhammad Husnain When the chief selector says he is physically unfit nothing more needs to be said about this talented future prospect. But then why he was allowed to burn further in the CPL for which the entire cricket committee must provide satisfactory answer.

10. Muhammad Irfan The entire selection and cricket committee members needs to be sacked by the chairman PCB for recall of a 37 years fast bowler who also can can not properly field, as well. Young upcoming high speed extremely talented fast bowler Haris Rauf was in fact an automatic choice for selection in the squad.

11. Muhammad Rizwan He was an automatic choice for selection.

12. Musa Khan Again an automatic choice for selection and should have been played in the T20 series vs the Sri Lankan team in Lahore.

13. Shadab Khan Not to play him is a risk but to play him is a bigger risk.

14. Usman Qadir Young Omar Khan was a better future prospect.

15. Wahab Riaz Fresh legs of Shaheen Shah Afridi/Usman Shinwari are 100 times better to include them in the squad vs a bowler who was discarded from scheme of things for the last two years before the CWC 2019 and passed his prime after 2015 World Cup memorable performance vs the Australian team.

16. Asif Ali Ehsan Ali/Umar Amin/ Zeeshan Ashraf are 100 times better material for selection into the squad for the T20 series to be played in Australia.

Subject:- Request to Stop Indian War Crimes in Indian Occupied Kashmir

Excellency David Sassoli
President
European Parliament

Sir,

The entire peace loving humanity of this planet in general and the whole Kashmiri 10.143 million population under Indian occupation, in particular, profoundly thank you and the august members of the European Parliament, for taking up today, the issue of horrific continuing genocide of the Kashmiris, by the Nazi style RSS Modi government of India, by using inhuman uninterrupted 44 days curfew (since 5 August 2019), as a tool of genocide of Kashmiris, living under Indian occupation.

The seriousness and gravity of the situation can be gauged by the following facts:

1. The Indian government in order to hide the news of holocaust being perpetrated over Kashmiris, has also imposed a complete air tight ban on all communication means of internet, radio, TV and print media.

Obviously, if there was no on-going war crimes (torture with electric shocks with sounds of the crying victims being broadcast over loud speakers to terrorise the adjoining population, abductions of young population, rapes being used as a weapon of war crimes, killings and destruction of standing crops and mass scale cuttings and uprooting of fruit trees by the eight hundred thousand Indian forces and one hundred and fifty thousand RSS civilian goons, sent from India to Kashmir, in forces uniforms); why there was any need of communications blackout, over and above the uninterrupted 44 days old curfew, since 5 August 2019?

2. If, there was nothing to hide by the Indian government about charges of unimaginable and worst war crimes and human rights violations (as reported by the BBC, German TV, CNN, Aljazeera TV & Newspaper, NYTimes, Washington Post, The Independent and all western country’s TV channels and news papers, Amnesty International and all other HR organisations of the world) why a delegation of 10 opposition parties of India, led by Mr. Rahul Gandhi, was sent back from the Srinagar airport; and not allowed to put a single step outside the airport building?

3. The magnitude of heinous crimes (since 5 August 2019) against the humanity, of the Indian forces under Modi regime, in the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK), can gauged by the fact that the “Welfare Party of India” has said that 40,000 Kashmiris have been arrested and shifted to Indian jails.

4. Now even the Indian general public has started protesting against the atrocities of the Indian forces over Kashmiris and protest rallies have been taken out from length and breadth of India, from Punjab, Gujarat, Delhi  to the Nagaland.
Similarly, many protest rallies have also been organised throughout the world cities of Australia, Asia, Europe and America.

5. Why India is stopping local authorities in (IOK) from issuing death certificates and registering cases of injured protestors?

6. Why India blinding/killing with impunity, protesting Kashmiris with banned pallet guns?

7. If, as claimed by Modi government that the situation was peaceful in the IOK, why the Chief Justice of Indian Supreme Court issued directive on 16 September 2019 to the Modi government, to return Kashmir to normalcy, as soon as possible and that it (The Indian Supreme Court) will not tolerate blocking of access to the Kashmiris for approaching the High Court in IOK?

Under the extreme emergency and grave Human Rights violations situation in the IOK, the European Parliament cannot be a bystander; and let India continue with its unrestrained, most inhuman violations, which are a serious crime in the civilised world, even against the animals.

Every moment of inaction/silence of the free world , a young girl, boy, a toddler, or an elderly falls prey to torture, rape, extrajudicial killing, arrest, detention or other forms of inhuman treatment in the IOK.

The European Parliament (in its own interest, as well) is duty bound to protect the lives, honour and properties of the 10.143 million Kashmiris, undergoing holocaust of genocide; else, there is every chance that an armageddon, may happen, which is fast approaching our planet, in the shape of an all out war, between the two nuclear armed neighbours.

Subject:- Albert Einstein said that insanity is doing the same thing over and over without any change and expecting different results.

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab.

AoA.

Sir,

Without urgent changes in our team’s coaches & captain, we should forget about winning the ODI WC 2019.

Out of last 10 ODI matches our team won only 2 matches (20%) & Sarfaraz Ahmad scored 292 runs of 17 innings in 13 months of (2018-19) averaging 24+ with 5 not outs.

In this regard, during the recently held Asian Cup tournament played in the UAE in September 2018, our team got unforgettable thrashing from the Indian B team (Virat Kohli was not playing) which defeated our hapless team in a manner, margin and style which may be very difficult to forget, detailed as below:

On 19 September 2018 India defeated Pakistan with 8 wickets by bowling out our team for 162 runs in just 43.1 overs and achieved the target in ONLY 29 overs.
(Please read detailed analysis dated 20 September 2018 of this match given below as Annex-A and a write up dated 22 September 2018 titled “Why our lions have become lambs” as Annex-B.)

In the second match played on 23 September 2018 Pakistan scored 237/7 in 50 overs which was over hauled by the Indians in 39.3 overs by just losing one wicket and won the match with 63 balls to spare, as if, it was not a Pakistani winner of Champions Trophy team, but a team from Afghanistan or Hong Kong.
My short comments dated 23 September 2018 after losing the above mentioned match vs India, are reproduced below for your kind perusal please.

Quote:
High time for head coach and captain to quit for turning Pakistani lions into lambs..!

Today the main reason for a low/disappointing score of our team was that we played 175 dot balls (29.1 overs) out of 300 balls (50 overs).

In first 10 overs of our innings when only 2 fielders are allowed outside the 30 yards circle, we scored only 28 runs against Indian score of 53 runs.

Test match strategy, planning and mindset can never work in an ODI game, where name of the game is attack, innovation, positive approach in team selection, batting, bowling, fielding and staying one step ahead of the opponent’s game plan and strategy.”
Unquote.

Respected Imran Khan Sahab, although, being the Prime Minister it is too much to request you to indulge in the nitty gritty of cricket affairs, but the next ODI World Cup is too serious an affair to be left with the PCB management, which may be very much sincere with its job, but it looks reclaiming World Cup for Pakistan is too big a job for them, for which they have somehow been in an inertia, since September last; and very clearly it is visible that BADLY afraid of media in making bold and corrective decisions, in the larger interest of Pakistani cricket. Moreover, the current management of the PCB can’t even say that now it was too late to make changes in the team, because given below are written proofs (Annex- A & B) that they were duly warned, way back in September 2018. It looks that the PCB’s management had decided to maintain status quo, as their cardinal policy, but the problem with this status quo policy is, that you end pleasing none and are responsible for ultimate failure of the task, originally given to you.

In view of the foregoing, you are once again (for the last time) requested to the takeover the reigns of the PCB in your own hands and urgently intervene for a vital course correction, so that Imad Wasim (Captain) or any person you think is a captain material & Amir Suhail (Head Coach) may be considered for these positions with a cut out task to bring the World Cup back, under your leadership, otherwise forget about even reaching the semi finals stage.

Annex-A
[Analysis of India vs Pakistan match played on 20 September 2018]

Disaster at Dubai..!

The total capitulation of Pakistan’s cricket team in the match played on 19 September 2018 at Dubai cricket stadium versus the Indian team must be taken positively for immediate corrective action before the start of the ICC ODI World Cup just after eight months time.

Victories and defeats are part of the game, but abject surrender is not acceptable, for which responsibility must be fixed and heads should roll.

In today’s India vs Pakistan match played at Dubai our entire team just scored 162 runs (which is not even a decent T20 match score) in 43.1 overs, which was easily overtaken by the Indian team in 29 overs for the loss of only two wickets.

The story of most shameful performance by our team is also very aptly reflected by the following statistics of dot balls played by our team:

Total balls of the Pakistani innings = 259 balls or 43.1 overs.
Total dot balls played by our team = 159 balls.

When a team plays almost 62% dot balls then DOUBTS about their capabilities, abilities and INTENTIONS are always raised.

Above all, this pathetic situation also demands ruthless accountability of all concerned who are associated with our team, particularly the captain and the team of coaches.

It is earnestly hoped that the new management of the PCB headed by Mr. Ehsan Mani also knows that the head coach of our team has never played a Test match in his cricketing career.

With this team management and the captain, it will be extremely difficult for our team to even move to the second round in the ODI World Cup schedule to start in May 2019 in England.

It is a timely wake up call for everyone concerned in the PCB, who were living in a false sense of comfort, after defeating Zimbabwe 5-0 in the ODI series, not realising that it was not even their C level team, due to the absence of six main players from the Zimbabwean Team.

This head coach and captain may not be the best choice for being retained till the next ODI World Cup. Especially, the captain who has unfortunately very badly failed to lead the team by example and from the front.

Mr. Aamir Suhail, considering that he is the best person available in the country, who possesses exceptional qualities of observing and correcting technical flaws of our players regarding batting, bowling, fielding, leadership and strategy matters; should be immediately appointed as head coach (and for any reason if it is not possible) then he should be appointed as team director, who should be the boss of the entire contingent of players, head coach, manager and all touring support staff.

If Mr. Aamir Suhail is appointed as the Team Director, may be there will be no need to replace the captain of the team; as under his mentorship, Sarfaraz Ahmad most probably will overcome his batting and leadership deficiencies, as well. Thus, leaving no need to find alternate player, as captain of the team.

Annex-B

22 September 2018
Why our lions have become lambs..!

The best way for the new management of the PCB, to not to win the ICC ODI World Cup 2019 is to remain in inertia; and carry on with the present set up, without any change..

However, then a question will be asked that if everything of the past management was satisfactory, then why its chairman was removed?

Nevertheless, the pathetic performance ( being displayed during the ongoing Asia Cup matches) of the product of the previous management of the PCB (players and coaching staff) leaves much to be desired from the new management of the PCB.

Entire coaching staff of our team has miserably failed in delivering (despite very high salaries) along-with captain and the players, who seems to have totally lost their flair of the game and passion for victory: which was clearly visible with the Afghan players, many of whom were seen crying, after losing a nail biting match against our team.

Keeping in view that the ODI world cup is almost around the corner, Shoaib Malik should be immediately appointed captain of the Pakistani cricket team for all the three formats; and a power hitter wicket keeper batsman inducted in place of Sarfaraz Ahmad, who unfortunately, seems to have passed his shelf life; and because of his non-performance, the team has also lost its balance.

The difficulty, with which our team won the match against Afghan team, is not at all a good omen. Even otherwise also, Sarfaraz was originally appointed captain by Mr. Shahryar Khan, by default.

It is again reiterated that our head coach and bowling, batting and fielding coaches must be immediately replaced, because they have turned our players from lions to lambs.

Just look at the hugely declining performances of our fast bowlers including Muhammad Aamir and batsmen including Fakhar and Sarfaraz.

About the declining standards of our fielding, it’s low level during our yesterday’s match against the Afghan team, said it all.

As such, the new management of the PCB is advised that they must not wait for the corrective actions, till after the World Cup.

Pakistan has to win the 2019 ODI world cup in England, which at the moment, with the current lot of coaches and players, looks like a distant possibility.

After the recent change over in the PCB, it looks the new management is acting on a go slow and wait and watch policy.

PCB has to be proactive and must take immediate remedial steps.

Our team badly needs a leader who can inspire, motivate and lead players from his own performances.

Our team also needs immediate induction of power hitters (like Suhail Akhtar) and an accomplished all rounder.

We also need a new coaching staff which can also study the weak points of opponent players and guide our players to modify bowling and batting strategy according to the weak and strong points of the opponent players.

In view of the foregoing, the new set up of the PCB should come into action immediately, postponing the honeymoon period, till after the World Cup is won by our team.

Good luck for Mr. Ehsan Mani in re-vamping the PCB.

Dear Mr. Imran Khan Sahab.

AoA.

Sir,

Kindly issue necessary orders for a specific, urgent and Special Audit of the PCB by the office of the Auditor General of Pakistan to save this organisation from an imminent anticipated loss of about Rs.34 Crore or approximately $ 2.141 million, as per details provided below.

May be as Patron-in-Chief of the PCB this fact was in your knowledge that a whopping amount of about $2.141 million (almost equal to PKR 30 Crores) was paid or about to be paid by the PCB (in your tenure) on account of total legal expenses of PCB plus payments of expenses of the ICC and the BCCI after PCB lost the case lodged with the Dispute Resolution Committee of the ICC, against the BCCI.

Surprisingly and astonishingly Mr. Najam Sethi is earlier on record of saying that [as reported by the daily The Express Tribune dated 30 June 2014] there would be NO COMPENSATION IF INDIA DOES NOT PLAY DUE TO NON-CLEARANCE FROM NEW DELHI QUOTED AS BELOW:

“But Sethi said there would be no compensation if India does not play due to non-clearance from New Delhi.”
“There was no compensation before, there is none now. This is not the norm in mutual series when government does not give permission.”

AS SUCH THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION IS WHY MR. NAJAM SETHI GOT AN APPROVAL FROM THE BoG OF THE PCB FOR AN EXPENDITURE OF ONE MILLION POUNDS IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXPENSES OF FILING THE COMPENSATION CLAIM WITH THE DISPUTE RESOLUTION COMMITTEE OF THE ICC THAT TOO FOR A MEAGRE AMOUNT OF ONLY $70 MILLION INSTEAD OF the $300 MILLION WHICH (according to Mr. Najam Sethi) WAS TO BE EARNED BY PCB FROM THE MATCHES OF MOU AGREED SERIES WITH THE INDIAN TEAM.

WILL ANYONE FROM THE GOVERNMENT ASK THE FORMER CHAIRMAN PCB TO PAY BACK TO THE PCB THE ENTIRE UNCALLED-FOR AND AVOIDABLE EXPENDITURE/DELIBERATE LOSS OF ABOUT 2.141 MILLION U.S. DOLLARS WHICH [as per the above mentioned link of news item published by the daily “The Express Tribune”] WAS as far back as on 30 June 2014 very much in the knowledge of Mr. Najam Sethi and he was convinced that NO AMOUNT WAS CLAIMABLE FROM THE BCCI IN CASE OF NON HONOURING OF BCCI’s COMMITMENT MADE IN THE MOU.

An urgent action from your side will certainly protect the PCB from a huge loss of about PKR 30 Crore or $ 2.141 million.
