Saj, thanks for replying.
Misbah wanted Younis in the one day squad but was overruled by others within the selection meetings.
Yes... totally understandable.
Basit is very very close to Younis Khan. He's obviously feeling irritated that his domestic captain and national captain couldn't get Younis into the one day squad and that's why he resigned.
See this is where it gets totally confusing.... I mean, before the squad was announced, both Misbah and Basit wanted YK to be in the team. Same goal, same want, same desire. same side......
Mainstream media has reported that Misbah and selectors locked heads on this issue. Misbah (if the reports are correct) tried his best to YK included in the squad. Eventually selectors won and YK was not selected.
Basit Ali resigns as SNGPL Coach after disagreement with Misbah over YK's Omission
So... the [still] confusing parts are....
a) If both Misbah and Basit wanted the same thing (YK in ODI team), where is the disagreement? Disagreements normally happen when people have opposite point of view. Don't you think, title of the thread is misleading.
b) If I was Basit, I would be thankful to Misbah for trying hard to get YK included.
c) If I was Misbah, I would want YK in the team - because I am the captain and I want... not because Basit wants it.
d) If I was Basit, I would pick up the fight with selectors and/or PCB.... instead of resigning or ... getting upset with Misbah (if he is at all).
I hope, Basit is a guest at Dr. Nauman Ijaz's program during the Pak-Aus series... I would love to listen to his reasoning, it he does talk about this issue.
