Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis step down from coaching roles

[Manzy2599]

Although they were not great coaches, for the sake of stability and consistency they should’ve stayed on till after the t20 World Cup.

If the PCB went with them then they should’ve backed them till the end of their term or atleast till after a major ICC tournament being played in Pakistan’s adopted home UAE.

You can’t just resign like this at the 11th hour before a World Cup. There is something definitely going on between the management and PCB which was bound to happen since ramiz raja was made chairman.

On top of this the squad selection is pathetic. How did Faheem ashraf who they have invested so much in and played all 3 formats not make it even after working with yousuf.

How did Fakhar the main opener not make it? If you don’t want him in the XI that’s fine but they can’t justify his exclusion from the squad.

And how the hell did asif ali and Khusdil make it again? How many connections do they have within the PCB. Asif ali is averaging 5 in the CPL going on and his average dropped to 4.6 odd after his low score the other day. Khusdil again was far too inconsistent.

I honestly would’ve been happier had they picked Shoaib Malik. He’s way more reliable than these 2 gully cricketers. And if they can keep maqsood in the squad then why not ifthikar who has similar batting ability but can also bowl.

Absolutely useless selection. What is muhammed Wasim doing.

With Misbah and waqar leaving and this pathetic squad selection it gives this pathetic cricket board more excuses on why they will fail to make it past the group stage in the upcoming t20 World Cup. If these kind of decisions keep being made they will also fail to qualify for the WTC final with the test side.

 

[Sherlock]

Wonder the reason as to why the resigned.

Maybe Ramiz wanting a new setup or maybe they Misbah wasn't happy with the squad selected for the tours/T20 WC.

Either way they shouldn't never have been picked in the first place.

Not the best timing though, and yet inevitable with Pakistan cricket.

 

[Yk313]

The circus finally leaves town.

Two wasted years spent on a backstabber who never even coached a club team, and on Mr "Give Me Two Years and I'll Make Them Into World Beaters" whose every coaching tenure has been an unmitigated disaster.

Now please get someone qualified to do the job.

Backstabber?

 

[Titan24]

But Abdur Razzaq as interim coach?

Won all 3 titles with KPK last season so much better than random inexperienced guys who PCB likes to appoint.

 

[Yk313]

Would wait before jumping the gun on the conclusion.

More at work than just the squad in my opinion.

As always Waqar’s comments are even more braindead. Even in resigning this guy is unable to stake any claims to originality. He’s basically admitted to just following suit which doesn’t quite work this way. The theory of resigning just because another member of the resigned doesn’t quite add up this close to a major event.

Have a feeling something may have been communicated to them about their future post WT20 and instead of waiting for the sack they pre-empted it, partly to make a statement and partly to avoid resigning in RR’s tenure.

Let’s see what actually comes out of this in a few weeks.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

Saqlain needlessly being thrown under the bus who is the only person with integrity left.

 

[topspin]

Mohsin khan was only good at making tea. Pakistani fans are the worst by far the problem is majority of them don’t even know about cricket which is the problem. They are upset because Malik didn’t get picked what has Malik done in 20 years of international cricket?

Common knowledge but unfortunately for some hate for foreigners exceeds their desire to seek the best interests of Pakistan cricket.

Shoaib Malik is very mediocre player. A good player of spin during his prime but it still astounds me how some are demanding for him to be selected. He's 40+ but I guess our love for seniors is a better love story than Twilight.

 

[Yk313]

Saqlain needlessly being thrown under the bus who is the only person with integrity left.

Firm believer that a person should not accept a job they do not believe they are capable of doing.

Employer and employee both at fault once they sign above the dotted line.

Was either asked to step down or saved himself the embarrassment of post 2016 wt20 resignation "take my remaining 4 month pay and invest in pakistan cricket" shtick.
The squad is horrendous either ways.

 

[Titan24]

This is Pak cricket’s special. Head coach and bowling coach leaving their roles just a month before the World T20.

 

[sam_ahm]

So Aamir will reconsider his retirement now?

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

90% of Pakistan fans on this forum and Amir had been asking for Misbah and Waqar's sacking.
Wish Granted.
Will Amir/Wahab/Malik make a comeback for WC 2022 in Australia in T20 side.
Will Amir be back in LOIs and get to pick and choose the series he wants to play ?

 

[Zaz]

Whatever you may think of misbah and waqar its not good news for a team coach and bowling coach to resign so close to a major tournament

This is gonna leave the team in disarray and the planning made for months is going out of the window, this cant be a good thing no matter what you think of them

 

[MenInG]

Maybe put According to reports, Misbah and Waqar shared their concerns with the PCB after their suggestions were ignored in the team’s selection for T20 World Cup

 

[OMB]

Babar Azam now carries the responsibility on his shoulders. Will have to be Imranesque in handling the team now

 

[Ozeirk]

Babar Azam now carries the responsibility on his shoulders. Will have to be Imranesque in handling the team now

That's how boys turn into men. Looking forward to this challenge Babar will face. I think Babar will do well.

 

[Sherlock]

Maybe put According to reports, Misbah and Waqar shared their concerns with the PCB after their suggestions were ignored in the team’s selection for T20 World Cup

The only one I can see that maybe Misbah had an issue with was Azam Khan. The rest, including his bestie, Asif Ali were included.

Seems like they have the media writing some fan fiction for them in the guise of looking like they didn't have their squad selected.

 

[mastimasti]

Strange squad....Fakhar who is Pakistan's most experienced LOI player (not including Hafeez obvs) is dropped just before a major tournament and replaced in the squad by guys with minimal international experience and/or no international performances to speak of.

PCB, unprofessional as ever

 

[Rana]

Deserting your side on the eve of a World Cup: is there any coming back from this?

There should be no coming back from this, but guess what? These two shameless individuals will be back in the Pakistan team management one way or another.

Disgusting behaviour!

-Destroyed the side with their inept tactics
-Backed mediocre batsmen throughout their tenure only to question their selection once picked!
-Isolated key players early on in their tenure only to quarrel with the management once they were overlooked!
-Fielding standards are at an all time low!
-Batting standards are at their dullest in Pakistan colours!

Now they want to abandon the ship??

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Misbah is a coward and buzdil. It is known. But how can Imran Khan let this happen under his watch?

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Waqar will get a commentary contract surely for World T20, and he will be criticising the same players.
Same for Misbah.

 

[Third Man]

Whatever you may think of misbah and waqar its not good news for a team coach and bowling coach to resign so close to a major tournament

This is gonna leave the team in disarray and the planning made for months is going out of the window, this cant be a good thing no matter what you think of them

Yeah, it doesn't look good, but what planning are you talking about? Has it ever looked like anything was being planned. I haven't seen any semblance of planning whether it be selection, player development, or on-field tactics.

 

[Varun]

Waqar will get a commentary contract surely for World T20, and he will be criticising the same players.
Same for Misbah.

Waqar will alternate between commentary and Pakistan coaching.

 

[TheSultan]

I think Waqar resigned because they weren’t going to make him head coach if Misbah resigned.

It’s fairly obvious if he was given the head coach position he would have grabbed it with both hands

 

[TheSultan]

On the other hand, what exactly are abdul razzaq’s credentials?

Regardless as long as we’re rid of Misbah, it’s a step forward

 

[Titan24]

On the other hand, what exactly are abdul razzaq’s credentials?

Regardless as long as we’re rid of Misbah, it’s a step forward

Head coach of KPK last season and won all 3 titles in domestic cricket. So atleast some experience and performance to get shot at the interim coach position.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Not sure this is a good decision. Sacking them is fine but Abdul Razzaq? I think hes extremely dumb. Pakistan cr9cket needs a foreign coach. Domestic coaches wont work

 

[Mirpur express]

2 words
GODD RIDDANCE
I must add , best of luck @ whatever your next career move is , there where more negatives then positives from your tenure, which surely will be hard to forget, out of RESPECT for the great memories of your playing days I sincerely request that please refrain from applying or agreeing to take any posts within the PCB in the foreseeable future.

my suggestion would be for Waqar to go commentator full time as he was not bad at it & Misbah to take the ultimate Pilgrimage.. or bass Allah Allah karo abh

 

[jeeteshssaxena]

Looks like Amir will be back for the world t20.

 

[Amjid Javed]

excellent news - PCB dont ever give either of these guys a major role around the team again.

 

[shamaan]

Hmm...plot twist.

I think they were miffed at the squad that was selected.

They new they going to get sacked now ramiz is thier but the squad is not good enough but gotta be hopeful

 

[shamaan]

Very selfish! Should’ve resigned after world t20. Misbah had 2 years to build a squad that was #1 in the world. He degraded the Team and leaving it at the 11th hour.

This wasn't his squad it was wasims and ramiz squad

 

[shamaan]

Let's get real here. Misbah and Waqar were not going to select any world beating squad either. In fact this was a very cowardly move by the two of them after taking Pakistan Cricket to the ground in the last 2 years, they decided to walk away just before the most important assignment of their tenure. I hope future employers hold this against them

Anyone is better than asif ali.if they ain't allowed to have a say in selection then they rightly should quit.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Anyone is better than asif ali.if they ain't allowed to have a say in selection then they rightly should quit.

By the same token, anyone is better than Misbah and Waqar for coaching positions. So they were kicked out, rightly so.

When the freaking coach indulges into the selection matters, then this is EXACTLY what should happen to them. Isn't it fair?

 

[shamaan]

Strange squad....Fakhar who is Pakistan's most experienced LOI player (not including Hafeez obvs) is dropped just before a major tournament and replaced in the squad by guys with minimal international experience and/or no international performances to speak of.

PCB, unprofessional as ever

Fakhar has to be open and that ain't going to happen that's why maybe they didn't pick him for initial squad

 

[shamaan]

By the same token, anyone is better than Misbah and Waqar for coaching positions. So they were kicked out, rightly so.

When the freaking coach indulges into the selection matters, then this is EXACTLY what should happen to them. Isn't it fair?

Coaching stats and player stats are two different stats.and they wearnt kicked out they resigned.the Coach should have some say in selection.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Coaching stats and player stats are two different stats.and they wearnt kicked out they resigned.the Coach should have some say in selection.

And the selector should come coach the players too, no?

 

[moghul]

Very happy to see Misbah's dark era gone, but equally disappointed to see Razzaq taking over, even for day. I have not seen any ex-Pakistan cricketer saying so much non-sense on TV , so many times. Why can we not have a "norma" person as a coach . Saqlain also is not a great choice.

But lets me celebrate Misbah's leaving , thanks Ramiz. I did not have much problem with Waqar though.

 

[shamaan]

And the selector should come coach the players too, no?

Didn't say that.coaching happens at grassroots levels you can hardly coach whilst on international duty.

 

[Justcrazy]

They resigned because they knew they would be sacked.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

Didn't say that.coaching happens at grassroots levels you can hardly coach whilst on international duty.

So why then pay 100 and millions of Rs and perks to coaches in yearly salaries and benefits?
Read the underlined above and make up your mind.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

They resigned because they knew they would be sacked.

They resigned to save faces.

IMO, Ramiz might have told them, izzat sey nikaltay ho ya jootay maar kar nikaaloon?

 

[Corridor of Uncertainty]

Well in fairness, Pakistan cricket was going nowhere under Misbah and Waqar.

Under new management, it may get there faster.

 

[gazza619]

I forgive PCB for picking a rubbish T20 squad because of the departure of these two.

You can pick any squad with any players. The current batch of Pakistan players are not miles apart from each other and there are only 3 world class players we got.

The change of mindset is what was needed and i am glad to not see Misbah & Waqar ever again. (For the next 2-3 years anyway)

 

[Jabo]

about time

damage is already done

that waqar should have been fired, a man with no morals, rinsed the fan and the board of money and delivered absolutely nothing

misbah... why he became the Head Coach anyway was shocking.

[Major]

Today i realize, pakistan cricket cannot change. It will stay the garbage that it is. You have a person who is not even chairman, yet he is gong Around forcing people to resign.

You see guys like azam khan selected for world t20 along with asif ali, khushdil and sohaib maqsood. And than fahkhar zaman gets dropped.

Is the ceo blind? Cant waseem khan see the dumb selections if waseem jr is a fool. Asif ali played 10 matches during this years tour and he failed im every single game.

Azam khan is a fat blob. He is not an athelete and he is part of the world t20.

Atleast guys like iqbal qasim and m. Ilyas had one thing to their credit. No matter how many times imran farhat would play for pakistan, but for the world cup, they made sure to drop him

Our cricket is a joke, it cant be fixed and it will stay as it is.

People can spend their time watching this team or just moving on from it. With the head coach gone, i might aswell move on from the national team.

Maybe franchise t20 is what i would be watching more often

I am sorry but that is just characterless. According to sources the PCB was only going to replace the coaches after the mega event. I hope these two shameless individuals are never hired again by any future employer.

Waqar has a history of this, who can forget how he demoralized the team in the 2016 T20 WC by taking swipes against the players, saying the team didn't deserve to qualify when the team was still in a position to qualify for the semis. Highly toxic negative individual

Sad but predictable

Basically you will only watch if Misbah is part of the setup in some capacity.

[Major]

If misbah is part of the capacity where his team plays.

A coach or captain in cricket is just like how a manager is in football for me.

Its either the coach or captain that decides the brand of cricket they want to play and who will play in that set up.

The advantage of misbah was that you see a line up playing according to the conditions and not basedupon old myths.

For example playing pacers just because we have a belief that india cant play pacers.

We saw rizwan become a part of t20 set up due to the coaches belief in him. He made him an opener and also allowed him to flourish in other formats.

Pakistan is now trying to be england, but we dont even understand that we cant play an english brand of crixkrt if we dont have the players. Khushdil shah, asif ali, sohaib maqsood and azam khan is what we bekief are the equivalents to jos butlerz bairstow and morgan.

Yep. Rambo may get many things wrong but this is spot on.

 

[PakHammer]

Good cop and Bad cop with Razzaq and Saqlain. Let's see how it works. Give it to them until after T20 world cup to see if they can be effective coaches of this team Pakistan.

We wasn't going to win the T20 WC with Misbah and Waqar at the top, so it's only fair to give Razzaq & Saqlain a chance.

 

[Savak]

Yep. Rambo may get many things wrong but this is spot on.

I am no Misbah or Waqar fan but they should not have been removed before the T20 WC. Now these two will cry a river about the PCB conspiring against them and how the team's performance in the WC is not their responsibility

Would've agreed in a general sense but Misbah and Waqar are the last two people who can do any kind of blame shifting. They achieved nothing during their coaching stints so even we fail, it won't be anything new.

 

[Snowflake]

I think it's a pretty cunning move on their part tbh. They know that the team they've built is useless, it'll achieve nothing in the WC and Ramiz will most certainly remove them after the WC. So, why not leave now and protect themselves from criticism of the bound to happen WC failure?

 

[zzzzz]

Maybe Waqar can resign much more easily as he knows that there will be a vacancy left behind by Rambo (commentary).

 

[Nikhil_cric]

I am no Misbah or Waqar fan but they should not have been removed before the T20 WC. Now these two will cry a river about the PCB conspiring against them and how the team's performance in the WC is not their responsibility

Perhaps. I thought so too but in Pakistan cricket even that doesnt seem to matter. Waqar's exit after World T20 2016 was acrimonious but 3 years later he was back with a bang.

 

[Snowflake]

This decision actually confirms that Misbah himself knew that he had built a garbage team that wasn't going to achieve anything in the near future. Otherwise, no way he would've voluntarily resigned

He’s tagged Raja in his leaving tweet. So much for all the comments here alluding to it being a matter of Misbah / Waqar not getting the squad they wanted.

 

[Nov15]

Most cricket analysts on mainstream Pak Tv news channels are hinting PM Imran gave the order to sack Misbah & Waqar.

 

[Yk313]

I reckon they walked before they were pushed.

New regime wants new faces and the first people they were going to remove were the coaches.

Think it’s pretty much clear that they were given an expiration date for after the WT20.

In PAK it’s better to have your govt toppled by the military (which is a problem itself) and be labelled a martyr than to have to wait to face the elections and be answerable after completing your tenure. Loosely analogous here.

Next few weeks will be very interesting.

 

[Yk313]

If it was an honour, and if he had any honour, he won’t be resigning every single time after being appointed the coach. Funny enough, everytime he resigned, he cited the same excuse.
PCB should never bring Waqar into coaching ever again. He failed pakistan cricket every single time he either captained or coached.

The way things work in PCB, this is EXACTLY what I fear is gonna happen. And most likely, something like this WILL happen!

But for now, lets enjoy the freedom while it lasts.

 

[Snowflake]

The two most cunning and cowardly individuals in Pak cricket: Misbah and Waqar. Built a garbage team for the WC and left right before the main event because they knew this team isn't going to perform...and because they'll be kicked out, better shield themselves of all the criticism

 

[Yk313]

I am no Misbah or Waqar fan but they should not have been removed before the T20 WC. Now these two will cry a river about the PCB conspiring against them and how the team's performance in the WC is not their responsibility

Not sure. If you study all year round / perform well all year round then even if you skive the day before the exam, your performance should still be reflective of what you did all year round.

Likewise, if you do not put in the effort all year round but study hard the eve of the exam… you know where I am getting to.

An argument can be made that their absences will mean the players do not have familiar seniors in the pavilion to guide them. However, the team flying to UAE will be what Misbah / Waqar cultivated for the good part of two years. Barring the odd selection here or there, these players all played under Misbah / Waqar.

This is very much their team (for good or bad) even if they resign the month before the WT20 and should be judged as such.

Yes misbah has been kicked out must be very hard for you. Don’t worry you can still worship your hero he will be around in franchise cricket where he will also get kicked out from there too.

This!!

If they had done a truly good job, no one in the world would've wanted them to leave.

EVERYONE is looking for good professional workers to make the difference and take the organization to new heights.

Nerves like Ramiz but I will be grateful to him for removing these 2 shameless individuals.
