Our media superstar puppet chairman had to go to Quetta and announce a regional academy to get his 1 min. of fame on news channel rofl. The man who became a stumbling block in the Tauqir Zia policy of opening up academies in other areas like Karachi and parts of Punjab ealier in 2005/6 has announced to open an academy in Quetta when there are none elsewhere in even cities like Karachi.I watched that hilarious report he also discussed the educational backgrounds of our cricketers, saying only Misbah ul Haq is only graduate and others are illiterate whereas Sohaib Maqsood is also an MBA and Wahab Riaz + others are graduates.

Nice to take the bait [for free publiciy of chairman saheb] of a joke of a photo-op only and made it into a thread on Quetta academy.

I just get the impression that a lot of statements are coming out from within the PCB without much thought and planning or anything to back these ideas and claims up.
