LAHORE - The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has picked a 10-member delegation of former players, who will act as goodwill ambassadors in India during the much-anticipated bilateral series next month, but questions are being raised about the choices made by the PCB.
Interestingly some leading names are missing from the list namely former captains Asif Iqbal, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Rashid Latif, Moin Khan and even Javed Miandad.
A PCB spokesman explained the list was prepared in chronological order in terms of debuts made by the players selected.
“The selected players are those who made their debuts in 50, 60s and 70s and we will consider the others in future events as well,” the spokesman said.
Critics in the cricket community have questioned the criteria on the basis of which the players were picked. “Certainly by no stretch of imagination can you describe Burki, Intikhab or Sadiq as legends of Pakistan cricket,” one former player said. Another player questioned the need to pick players in chronological order.
