KARACHI: Pakistan’s cricket coaches are fully aware that their team has touched rock bottom.But it seems that they don’t know why their players have performed so pathetically in the ongoing series against Bangladesh.
According to media reports, Pakistan’s coach Waqar Younis and his deputy Mushtaq Ahmed have had a heart-to-heart to talk with the players and asked them whether they were satisfied with their coaching methods.
“The difference about this meeting was that apart from the usual discussions on what went wrong, Waqar and Mushtaq asked the players whether they were not happy with their coaching methods and wanted them to step down,” the report quoted sources as saying.
“Waqar was very emotional and said not only was the reputation of Pakistan cricket on line but his own reputation. He asked candidly whether the players had something to say to him and whether he and Mushtaq should step down,” it said.
“Waqar was unhappy that the bowlers didn’t try any variations in their bowling despite being told clearly this was necessary on the pitches in Bangladesh.”
