Former Chief selector of Pakistan cricket team Salahuddin Sallu has urged PCB to sack Azhar Mahmood who has failed to deliver as a coach.
“I admire the efforts being made by PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi to bring our cricket at par with the international standards. Those who have seen the Pakistan cricket team ruling world cricket in the past or have remained attached to Pakistan Cricket in any capacity are keen to see the revival of that era,” Sallu was quoted as saying.
“Revamping of the selection committee, dismantling the player power, uplift of the infrastructure and making the domestic cricket appearances mandatory for all players are all excellent steps taken by Mr. Naqvi recently. They will, Inshallah, bear fruit very soon,” he stated.
However, he also urged the chairman to remove Azhar Mahmood, calling him incompetent for the job of Pakistan’s assistant coach.
“Azhar [Mahmood], in my opinion, does not deserve to be the team’s coach as he is not competent for the job and has failed to deliver whenever given the opportunity to serve Pakistan Cricket,” he said.
“I remember how PSL franchise Islamabad United sacked Azhar during the PSL 8 season which is a clear indication of his inability to motivate the players or help them overcome their shortcomings,” he concluded.
