ISLAMABAD – In a surprise, Pakistan Head Coach Misbah ul Huq gets a warningfrom the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Pakistan Head Coach and Chief Selector, Misbah-ul-Haq has been facingplenty of criticism for his multiple roles with the Pakistan Cricket Board(PCB) and the cricket’s governing body is also worried about the dip inteam’s performance.

In an interview with a local cricket websitelink,PCB Chairman, Ehsan Mani explained the dual role of Misbah, saying that itsthe general trend in cricket while also giving the example of footballwhere the manager runs a one-man-show.——————————

Mani, however, is open to rectifying the board’s mistake if the movedoesn’t work out in a year’s time.

It’s early days but if this decision does not work out, in the next year orso, we will have no hesitation in removing Misbah from the role.

The 74-year-old disagreed with the notion that Misbah is calling all shotssingle-handedly, saying that “he has an independent committee of sixregional selectors who have a say in the selection policy and the finaldecision is a unanimous one”.

Talking about having 45-year-old Misbah as the coach, Mani clarified thatit was done to prevent the communication barrier between the players andthe coach.——————————

“I had said earlier that there will be no conflict of interest, and I stillstand by it, but in Misbah’s case we were told that he already had acontract with Islamabad United so we had to honor it”, Mani told about theformer captain’s issue of conflict of interest.
