The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ehsan Mani has given an ultimatum to national team’s head coach-cum-chief selector Misbahul Haq to decide between working for the board or his department Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL).

While speaking to reporters after the National Assembly Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting in Islamabad on Wednesday, the PCB Chairman said that no employee of the board is allowed to work for any other organization.

“Misbah has to pick one job as you can’t draw salaries from both. All those having jobs with departments and also getting salaries from the PCB will have to pick one. There will be no exception for anyone including Misbah,” he said.

Mani also confirmed that the board has sought explanation from Misbah for meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan without informing the top officials of the board.

“Yes, that was like crossing the line. The matter has already been referred to the disciplinary committee and action will be taken.”

Misbah along with Test captain Azhar Ali and veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez decided to consult the PM regarding the resumption of departmental cricket. It must be noted that PM Imran in the meeting, reiterated his stance that there is no place for departmental cricket in the domestic structure.

The house of cards is found trembling. Mohammad Wasim bracing to take over as coach..
 
Damn !

Don Misbah realising the gravy train cannot go on forever.
 
Sui Gas please. Learn how to coach a domestic side before coaching the national team
 
Pcb is only themself to blame selection of misbah was dodgy from beginning.They should have sorted out before appointing him

Sack Misbah and go for Andy Flower, Mike Heeson or any proper foreign coach that is available on a full time basis.
 
Nevertheless love story of misbah&pcb is slowly coming to end .Nz tour might be misbah last assignment
 
I agree. Instead of coaching, he should be watching the games as he is a selector.
 
One would think there would be such a clause in the contract. PCB's incompetance being highlighted yet again.
 
Don’t think the PCB would care if the national side didn’t perform so poorly in Australia and couldn’t get the job done in England.

As Saeed just mentioned, the NZ series will be the final nail in the coffin.
 
The rate at which Don Misbah is going the next breaking news will be "Mani sacked - Misbah appointed chairman PCB"

If it does, then what a waste of a year but better to cut losses now than later.

I have a feeling Misbah will hang on though, he's not giving up hefty pay cheques for doing very little that easily.

My gut feeling is misbah has strong backing from Pm imran khan .That's is why he is doing what he wants and pcb cannot do jack about it.
 
How many jobs does Misbah have? PSL, SNGPL, at least a couple with the national team.

Don't trust PCB either. If they were smart they would never selected Misbah and Waqar for coaching position.

Mani is not mentally strong enough to sack Misbah. We have to wait atleast another 2 years to finish his term and hope that PCB will not extend his contract for another 3-5 years.
 
Before Misbah, Mani needs to sorted - he appointed a guy in four paid jobs - Head Coach, Chief Selector, Batting Coach & now I hear Sui Gas; God knows in which capacity there (won’t be surprised if he takes duel wage as player & coach there).

Misbah definitely has strong political connections, instead of PAK cricket, he should do better in PAK politics - I am sure unlike cricket coaching, he won’t be the worst addition in PAK parliament.

Five, you forgot the PSL job.
 
Lol, the PCB job is uncertain and can be lost at any time. He is better off staying at SNGPL
 
I am giving Misbah maximum until the end of this year (NZ series). After that, Misbah and Waqar, both are gone from the coaching staff for good. Both of them should never be involved with coaching ever. They both are defensive cricketers, hence defensive captains during their time, and defensive and clueless coaches. It is time to go with another coach. Not to mention how dodgy Misbah's appointment was in the start. It is time to say goodbye to him.
 
Sack Misbah and go for Andy Flower, Mike Heeson or any proper foreign coach that is available on a full time basis.

Cheif selector should be wasim or someone knows the doesmtic scene
 
Long back, there was a famous Amitabh Bachhan movie, one of my favourites - Dewaar. There is famous part of dialogues -

Gangster brother Bachhan is telling his honest police officer brother...
“....aaj mere pass gari hai, banglow Hai, bank balance Hai ...... tumhare pass keya Hai mere Bhai

Police officer brother Shashi Kapoor: “mere paas Ma hai, Ma”

I am sure, if asked about solutions of the problems of PAK cricket, Mani & Wasim Khan will say: “Hamare paas Misbah Hai, Misbah”.
 
Lol finally the Misbah honeymoon period of the last 4 years is coming to an end somewhat. They are realizing playing the nice guy simply doesn’t entitle you to all sorts of benefits and rewards if you give no real value..
 
Foreign coaches are the way forward, we'll never make progress in cricket when there is too much corruption in the PCB set up. People are only employed based on connections and nepotism. Even though I am stating the obvious, it's the sole reason we are where we are at. Pak cricket is getting milked.
 
Misbah is actually an IK appointee. MA has confirmed he was guaranteed an extension but it got taken from him at the very last minute.

If Misbah doesn't comply then IK will be pressurized to drop his support for him

Even selection committee should be foreigners - primarily because there is even more corruption and nepotism in selection that in coaching.

Its not like Misbah as the chief selector is travelling to all the domestic matches to scout local talent. He's mostly watching this on TV or relying on other opinions and stats. So no real restriction for not having more credible, foreign selectors.
 
Seriously how shameless can one person get
 
This guy has been an enormous leech who just doesnt let go.
Just praying that he gets ousted for good.
 
I shudder at the thought of such a meek, defensive and defeatist guy leading us into upcoming WC's in India. We need someone with better planning, courage and aggression.
 
Like seriously how many jobs do coaches and cricketers need. If they think pay isnt good in the profession then they can try to go for another one rather than going against the policy of the organization and being on the payroll of more than one employer.
 
I was considering Misbah a very nice human being but now I found him very greedy.
 
Don't see Misbah making it past the NZ tour. The odd thing in all this drama between Wasim Khan, Ehsan Mani and Misbah is that, did they not think of this stuff before making Misbah the coach out of the blue?

Zimbabwe series is the key for Misbah. If we whitewash them Misbah can use this series as a shield to save his job. PCB cannot sack him after 1 series defeat.
 
Sack Misbah and go for Andy Flower, Mike Heeson or any proper foreign coach that is available on a full time basis.

Mike Hesson showed no interest in taking over as Pakistan coach. Flower is working with England's junior players.
 
Misbah isn't going anywhere whether people like it or not. And if anyone seriously wants to talk about Pakistan's problems than Misbah would be very low on that list. You can't expect to have such an inexperienced and mediocre team producing results out of nowhere. It will takes time. And let's please stop peddling the fallacy that the coach is somehow an all powerful tactician with a major influence on the match. 95% of the coach's job ends when the players walk out onto the field.

If? I don't think anyone cares about the result of this series, which most people also already know. The Zimbabwe of today is on the same level as Scotland and the other associates.
 
Ehsan mani is now taking out a personal grudge. He didnt like that misbah talkee with patron in chief and now he is looking ways to attack him.

Nothing wrong with misbah getting salary from sngpl. Infact, that has nothing to do with pcb. Misbah could sue pcb over this.
 
While ehsan mani is pcb chairman he also is board member of dofferent companies. Will ehsan mani also do the due delligence and resign?

This is a matter that could be taken tk court now.
 
Why wasn’t this sorted out when Misbah has handed over the contracts for head coach and selector?

Why wasn’t this part of the contractual discussions between PCB and Misbah or his legal representatives? What exactly were they discussing?

How incompetent and clueless are Wasim and Mani?

If Misbah is going to get sacked, then the incompetent duo exported from the UK also need to face the music. Ultimately, they are responsible for this circus show. They tried to act smart and decided to play to the galleries with this so-called genius and out of the box idea, but it appears that it has backfired spectacularly.

How can they be trusted to take corrective measures and make smart decisions in the future? They are completely out of their depth.

Maybe it is time to appoint another director to director to director to director to High Performance International Player Development bla bla and make the fans excited over the reforms that are happening with the PCB structure.

Your obsession with Misbah has no boundary. You treat him like some sort of GOD who cannot go wrong. Being a chairman of an organization automatically make someone as a member of the organization. Its like a CEO is the boss of the company and a staff as well.

But Misbah hold 5 positions: Head Coach, Batting coach, chief selector, PSL team coach and domestic team coach without having meeting the criteria of the job advertisement and experience. His job based on skill related. So you think its same?

All 3 (Mani, Wasim, Misbah) along with Waqar need to be sacked!!!!

The order to select Misbah came from IK and the PCB had no choice but to comply with the PM's instructions therefore they ignored all these things

It now appears that Misbah has fallen out of favour with the PM who has given the PCB the green signal to do what they wish and they are trying to find a subtle way to get rid of him

That might be so, but the decision to merge the coach and selector roles was definitely Wasim and Mani’s, and it is the core issue. They gave Misbah too much authority and now they want him to step back because things did not pan out the way they envisioned.

This wouldn’t have been a problem if Misbah was given one role and was held accountable solely for that role.

Even if pcb fires misbah, they would be forced to pay half of his salary

If PCB really serious about lifting our cricket even Misbah ask for extra they should give him and kick him. Misbah will not mind to have extra money doing nothing. He can leech somewhere else.

I'm telling you - these new PCB folks are adding too many moving parts, it's only going to end in tears.

They came from England, and the same thing happened there in the late Flower-era. Too many adhoc positions and random appointments to them.

I'm sure characters like Abdul Razzaq have been given a role only to keep them away from TV/YouTube.
 
Even selection committee should be foreigners - primarily because there is even more corruption and nepotism in selection that in coaching.

It's all a money game to be honest.

It is not the merging that bothers me. Rather the way he was just given the job with no credentials
 
Well Mani should've done his due diligence before appointing Misbah as coach, also we don't know if this a condition in his contract. If the PCB failed to put a conflict of interest clause in Misbah's contract, then legally they can't make him quit the other job.
 
It is not the merging that bothers me. Rather the way he was just given the job with no credentials

The whole process was farcical.

Firstly, Misbah should have never been part of the committee that decided Mickey’s future. There was no way Misbah could have been impartial given the fact that he had eyes on his job.

Secondly, there were rumors in the media that Misbah was going to be appointed even before PCB advertised the job.

That was highly unprofessional and it was the main reason why experienced coaches didn’t bother to apply because Misbah was handed the job on a platter.

All the blame goes to Mani and Wasim. People can call Misbah greedy, but it is PCB’s fault for allowing him to stick his fingers in multiple pies.

Yep, they are playing to the galleries by coming up with fancy job titles. Just because you add “high performance” to the title doesn’t mean that it will be any different. The only thing they do is make gullible fans excited.

Take a look at the job descriptions for Saqlain and Bradburn in their so-called high performances roles. They are laughable.
 
Have to agree with uncle and others here... I think we all know that appointing Misbah was a mistake for all the reasons highlighted above. Pakpassion should do a poll on Misbah’s future, I am sure he will have less than 40% job approval rating even on here.
 
Misbah should play smart and not listen to pcb and keep both jobs. It wasnt in the contract and they are making him bend over.

If pcb fires misbah, misbah will get his half pay for coach and half for selector. And even the half amount is big.
Than misbah can sue pcb for unfair dismissal and get full payment maybe.

Sngpl job he should keep. Sngpl is not making an issue about it, and he was never told by pcb to leave other jobs or salaries he might be getting.
 
Zimbabwe series is the key for Misbah. If we whitewash them Misbah can use this series as a shield to save his job. PCB cannot sack him after 1 series defeat.

Don't think PCB are that stupid, I'm sure they know that we'd whitewash even if there wasn't a coach.

But you should be an advocate for Pakistan cricket, not Misbah's bank account.

What is best for Pakistan cricket?

? Advocate of pakistan cricket doesnt mean that if pcb wants to get rid of someone they twist their arms into leaving a post. Such things are decided when contracts are signed not later on.

As an advocate of pakistan cricket pcb needs to be careful in what it does or it will get cases against them and bare leagal fees
 
What does he do for SNGPL?

Somt really know. People who play for departments get proper contracts in which there is also job if no cricket. Must be some admin job maybe or maybe somethinf related to the sports department of sngpl.

Could even be getting a retainer as sngpl may not want to lose him, so if in future deparment starts again, sngpl will have misbah with them already.

This guy doesn't have any interest for Pakistan team's welfare. All he does blindly idol worshiping Misbah. Even if we loose test status under Misbah he will blame players not Misbah.

As a Misbah's blind follower you should know by now Misbah wouldn't mind to take full amount of pay doing nothing plus wouldn't hesitate to sue PCB to leech out more.
Even if Pak passion fans give donation to Misbah to leave the job he will take money from us plus from PCB and sue if any lawyer told him to do.

If he isn't active and not performing any duty for SNGPL then the PCB shouldn't have a problem with it. I mean the PSL job is bigger issue compared to this non active job at the SNGPL.

I think the PCB has had it with Misbah after he met IK directly and just want to get rid of him now.
 
Maybe SNGPL has asked Misbah to choose between the PCB and SNGPL which explains why Misbah desperately met the PM and tried to overturn his objections to Department Cricket, maybe he has tried to run his problem by the PCB who have told him that this is his own matter and in fact by Misbah by bringing this issue to their attention, gave the PCB an issue to remind him of the various conflict of interests he was involved in.

The new domestic cricket structure in Pakistan involves regional teams first elevens, second elevens, cities cricket teams, club teams not to mention the various academies and high performance centres being set up. It requires the involvement and participation of around 2,500 plus cricketers and coaches. The PCB now has the perfect excuse to get all the ex cricketers in Pakistan Cricket involved.

This wouldn’t have been a problem if Misbah was given one role and was held accountable solely for that role.

To the contrary, Misbah had the unique privilege of being given absolute power and autonomy. Everything he wanted, he got, he got the players he wanted, he was in charge of the team strategy with no PCB interference and the PCB made it clear that he was going to be held responsible if he didn't deliver. Misbah knew what he was getting himself into and the things he would be accountable for.

If anything Misbah did not deliver and if he is honest, he will put his hand up and acknowledge he had all the power and authority to make a difference but he just did not deliver. The PCB gave him a once in a lifetime opportunity

true, but thing is PCB needs to be careful and not mess with an educated person atleast. A case in court will end up creating porblems and financial loss.
 
Maybe SNGPL has asked Misbah to choose between the PCB and SNGPL which explains why Misbah desperately met the PM and tried to overturn his objections to Department Cricket, maybe he has tried to run his problem by the PCB who have told him that this is his own matter and in fact by Misbah by bringing this issue to their attention, gave the PCB an issue to remind him of the various conflict of interests he was involved in.

the article clearly says Ehsan Mani asked him to choose not SNGPL.
 
With statement, Mani should've fired Misbah in order to practically support what he said, so that Misbah could take only one salary; from SNGPL that is.
 
Misbah triple dipping. Coach, selector, and domestic coach salaries. Wait let’s not forget PSL too

Agree.

Can't decide if Mani and Waseem's incompetence is a bigger shame or Misbah's facetiousness.

To me incompetence trumps malice - so I will hand the shame crown to Mani. What an utter mess they have made of an opportunity, literally handed on a platter, that could have been a turning point for Pakistan cricket - or atleast start of change.
 
Misbah has like 5-6 jobs at the same time. Few more of them and he will become a rare person in the world to hold 10 jobs at the same time.

This whole situation reflects poorly on Misbah and PCB. Both parties should have been careful to not have such situations. But then Misbah was heading(?) or part of a group which evaluated the performance of the ex-coach and then Misbah took over that job. Highly unethical.

Not sure how this drama happened and still continues till this day. Anyone backing these moves is living in a bubble.
 
Misbah was member of the committee that fired Mickey? PCT really takes conflict of interest and multiplies it by 100.
 
Seriously, how toothless is Mani?

He is there for absolutely NOTHING!

No executive power, no brain, no plan, no vision, and no energy left to do anything significant that would make a difference.

What exactly is he doing there sitting on top of PCB while all this kinda bovine excrement happens right under his nose?
The firing of Mickey, and hiring of Misbah on dual roles and re-hiring of Waqar after 4 failed stints with PCB? How dare?? What was Mani doing all along?

And all he can do now is bleat like a baby lamb that Misbah should have one job? LOL.

I have begun to feel that he is more cringe worthy than Misbah. This guy may be honest and whatnot, but he is absolutely useless and toothless.

UNFAIR dismissal?

Misbah the Head Coach led Pakistan to lose at Adelaide to a team which lost 3 wickets in the entire Test!

Misbah the Chief Selector took 13 men in their thirties in the squad to England.

The PCB can sack Misbah from one or both jobs for gross incompetence, at their convenience.
