PCB Chairman rubbishes rumours about MisbahHaq

LAHORE: Repudiating reports that the Board has recommended Test captian Misbah-ul-Haq for the post of ICC match-referee, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan has said that the Board has never made such offer to the outgoing Test captain.

The chairman said that the outgoing captain was never offered any post, stating that it all depended on Misbah as to what kind of role he sought in Pakistan cricket after his retirement following the final Test against the West Indies.

PCB chairman rubbished the reports that the name of the outgoing Test captain was recommended for the post of ICC match-referee.

“It is Misbah who will decide what kind of role he would like to seek after his retirement and if he wants the post of the ICC match-referee, the PCB could recommend his name but it is up to the ICC whether it accepts his name for the said post,” maintained the chairman.
