A Citizen | 8 years ago | Reply Najam Aziz Sethi should appoint himself. Let's politicize cricket completely and destroy the team.

Saghir | 8 years ago | Reply First thing first. Change comes from top. Najam Sethi and Shahryar Khan should be removed to reduce the safarshees in the team.

ad | 8 years ago | Reply The coach was not the issue, management is/was So this practically brings to a time before waqar younis, sadly them also the situation was same as it is now. So Getting a waqar2.0 wont help. Pakistan has best players and talent, but needs good board management too to solve issues at lower level , domestic level. Coach is not magician who can turn around any player, its abt the ecosystem from which the player is shaped up. No need to overhaul anything, just fire top 3 . If a company goes south, its CEO who is removed.

jibs | 8 years ago | Reply Well, that rules out the best coaches in the world !

Parvez | 8 years ago | Reply We don't need a special coach.....what we need is a contract with players that says ' No performance, no pay. Repeated no performance, no place in the team . '........and watch the results.

MSBR | 8 years ago | Reply Javed Minadad can be a good choice if we wish to improve our running between the wickets as well as batting techniques.

ShamelessPakistaniMedia | 8 years ago | Reply First things first. PCB chairman should be removed. And minimum requirement for his replacement be nobody associated with any political party.
