SYDNEY – Pakistan’s former fielding coach Steve Rixon has made seriousaccusations against the Pakistan Cricket Board.

He accused the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) of lacking professionalism,being disorganised and late with payments.

Joining Pakistan’s coaching staff in 2016, Rixon, a former Australianwicketkeeper was credited for vastly improving the team’s fielding. He wasreplaced by Grant Bradburn prior to the Asia Cup.

In an interview with *FairFax Media*, Rixon said: “They didn’t paysubsidiary staff on time. Everyone was meant to go to the World Cup, whichwould be the sensible thing to do but not unless they improved their act.[I told them], ‘you guys will make me angrier and angrier, and I don’t needit.’ I said ‘thanks, but no thanks’.”

Rixon further said if the PCB wanted foreigners to do the job the needed tolook after them. “They’re losing people because of their stupidity and lackof professionalism. It’s no skin off my nose. Shame because I enjoy theplayers and saw some fantastic things there.
