ISLAMABAD – In a surprise, Mohammad Yousaf hits out at Misbah ul Huq andPCB over controversial dual appointment.
Mohammad Yousuf has strongly criticized PCB and their decision to appointMisbah.
Speaking to media, Yousuf said that Misbah was not appointed based onmerit. He further added that giving him the dual-role will prove to be ahuge negative in the longer run.
The head coach will be with the national team then how would he be able towatch first-class players with his own eyes? The chief selector will haveto rule on the basis of scorecards or through what the provincial coachesfeed him. So if provincial coaches have to do all the work then what wasthe need of a chief selector?
Questioning the appointment again, Yousuf said that on merit, there weremore deserving people than Misbah for the job.

If this was the case, bowling coach Waqar Younis was a more qualifiedcandidate for the head coaching gig. I am appalled that how could WaqarYounis settle for the bowling coach’s role when on merit he should havebeen the head coach and chief selector.
Yousuf also backed Mickey Arthur’s suggestion that Misbah-ul-Haqbackstabbed him to get the head coach job.
Because he [Misbah] himself wanted the job, Misbah opposed the formercoaching regime the most as a member of the committee. It is why I say thathis appointment was not on merit.
