Actually Basit is YK best friend and he support him from day 1 and on the other side Basit dont stop praising Miandad every day for every single thing happened to Pakistan cricket and most of time he criticize Imran Khan live on tv just to praise Miandad. On topic Basit is also in PCB not only coaching domestic team like SNGPL but he recently got a job in PCB too to look at juniors from the country and he is select them.
On a side note when Basit and Bazid Khan (son of Majid Khan) sit with that biased anchor Dr Nauman Niaz on PTV Sports channel you will expect them bombing IK all the time this is how much they hate him and both Basit and Nauman dont miss a chance to praise Miandad while criticizing IK.
I am aware of most of what you noted here, thanks. But you know, that defies the logic - common sense tells me that Misbah would like YK in the team & Basit might be upset on that (though I can't understand why, he has no business on who should be in National team or not in professional Capacity; as a retired International he can always have his opinion, but resigning on that...). For the sake of saying, Basit is junior team selector & also part of the FC team set up, for which, Misbah is Captain; so he might try to peruse Misbah to pick someone like Azhar Ali for No. 3 & Misbah might stick to play YK at 3. That makes the most logical explanation of this.
But then, by the logic you gave & I am sure you are mostly correct, Basit should also be happy that Misbah is in favor of YK. If both the persons are aligned on a particular issue, what's the point of dispute then?
So, there comes the second option - Misbah asked Basit on possible players to replace YK at 3, BECAUSE, he might be a bit anxious as well for his own sake, since WY had one option for No. 3 is Misbah himself, who, I am sure at this form/age won't be racing to take Starck, Hilfenhouse & later Blout, Southee, bating at 3. Basit might have told him to stick with Misbah, from where the dispute raised. It might have gone to personal level & Basit took the decision on heat of the moment.
But, gradually, I have a feeling that we might be beating about the bush - the issue is totally different & Basit might withdraw his resignation once his demand is met. Somehow, I just don't think Basit Ali's friendship/animosity with YK is that intimate/severe that he 'll leave an influential PCB job for the sake of YK. Can anyone get a bit inside story?
For Misbah's part, he definitely had, has, 'll/should have say in selection, in some capacity - he is the Captain & must get some say on the players playing under him. Over the last few years, for every loss, Misbah has got probably more bashing than rest of the team combined - he 'll not accept to lead a team without his consent. May be not always he got all the players he wanted, but it's probably difficult for any player to sustain whom Misbah, for that matter, in general, the Captain isn't confident with.
Last time YK got selected on "special quota", (In Ryder Cup, they give 2 wild card entry - captains choice, like that) & in SRL, YK actually didn't set the wicket on fire in ODI. That's why, initially I thought Misbah might not want YK in ODI & made a mouthful to Basit, who might made a "Sifarish" for YK, but as it sounds, case is opposite. May be, Misbah has got his license renewed till his desired date, which made him a bit confident & stubborn.
Why do you think, they are hiding?
