I was reading a recent interview of Misbah's and started thinking whether Misbah would be a good candidate as a future PCB Chairman. Before some of you guys go berserk on me, its not a bad idea in any stretch of the imagination. Read the following from his interview:
“Every person has their own nature. People say Misbah is lazy and it saddens me. How can a person be captaining Pakistan A, Departments for 12-13 years, someone who completed their education BSC double Maths and Physics, then did an MBA, all whilst playing cricket, then captaining the Pakistan national side. If a lazy person can do all that, then it's fine to be lazy!”
He is educated, has an MBA, which obviously means he is qualified to handle the financial aspects of the board and also has a vast understanding of cricket itself. To my understanding (maybe someone can correct me on this), we have never had someone of such understanding as a PCB chairman. He would be the ideal man for the job, certainly has all the qualities that we would/do require of a PCB chairman.
“If people say things to me, you are not ruining my image, you are hurting the image of the Pakistani cricket captain, whether it's me or someone else, you are hurting the country. I could return in comments in kind, I'm not afraid of anybody, but if I do that there will be no difference between them and me”
Another statement by captain sensible and I have no doubts that he would make a great chairman.
Another major aspect to look at is, during his reign, we have been controversy free, which is a huge plus and something that is a rarity in Pakistan cricket. Captain cool took over the team during its worst phase and to my understanding has done an exceptional job in transforming the team (yes we have had our losses, but with the team/talent given, he has done a decent job).
I feel in the recent times, we have lacked a PCB chairman that has a vast understanding of cricket and at the sametime is educated and understands what the role requires, Misbah fits the role perfectly. Certainly has been a great ambassador for the game of cricket and Pakistan itself. I know its a little pre-mature to think of such a thing yet, but not a idea to look into the future as well.
