LAHORE – The Pakistan Cricket Board has strongly refuted media reportsthat suggest it has decided to part ways with chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haqand coach Mickey Arthur.

The PCB added it was disappointing that a foreign news agency, attributingan unnamed PCB official, released a factually incorrect and baseless story,and termed it unfortunate that the local media published it withoutcarrying out due diligence or fact-checking.
“At a time when the entire country and the Pakistan cricket fans aregetting behind the national side, the release and subsequent publication ofa factious story, such as this one, seems to be an attempt to derail thePakistan cricket team’s campaign in the ICC Cricket World Cup by creatingunnecessary disturbance in camp.
