Reviving cricket

By our correspondents

The defeat in the World T20 has exposed structural as well as technical failings in our cricket. On the structural side, the Pakistan Cricket Board needs revamping. People like Intikhab Alam, Zakir Khan, Azhar Khan and Agha Akbar are just a few names who have been associated with the board forever. The time has some to replace them with some more dynamic personalities.

Politics and lack of inspiration have been killing talent in the country. We need honest and dedicated professionals to coach our team. The PCB’s decision to hire the services of Inzamam-ul-Haq can be termed a step in the right direction. Moreover, opinions of Aqib Javed, Waseem Akram and Imran Khan, etc, should be invited to help the PCB identify talent.
