He was getting 12.3 lac Pakistani rupees per month in Afghanistan and he is going to settle for 7-8 lac here. So no he is not getting paid more here , its a huge mistake.

Though its right that he would never be employed by a western country because of language barrier but still he could have had a great experience with the afghan team.

wait, how do you know he will settle for a low pay here.

Thats impossible.

From what I have heard or read on PP, Pakistan's selectors job is not a paid job. Is that correct?

If so, why would one want to leave a paid job to do a job for free?

Both model exist. Some selectors who were already employed in other department worked without salary

We are veering off-topic but want to add a bit of context from a personal point of view: I lived in Afghanistan for a while and worked with Afghans too, and the hospitality displayed towards Pakistanis was incomparable. There was a great deal of camaraderie there, and I never had the feeling that I was ever unwelcome. However, their attitude towards our government and the army was downright hostile. They felt that the Pakistani state had always interfered in their affairs to protect its interest and that of the United States rather than the Afghan people. People that were oppressed by the Taliban especially hold that view as they cannot forgive the complicity between the US and Pakistan that brought them to power. Travelling through Afghanistan, I could definitely empathize with such sentiments.

Exactly.

Afghans, especially the pathan lot, have always treated me well, but they do blame us for the terror of the taliban in their country. Can I blame them for thinking this way? No, because in the end we did create the mujahideen.

Anyway that's just a little history in order to understand why they prefer India these days.

Karachi: Inzamam-ul-Haq, former Pakistan captain, who is set to be announced as the chairman of Pakistan cricket team's senior selection committee, took a hefty pay cut of four lakh rupees from existing monthly salary of 12 lakh that he drew from Afghanistan Cricket Board. (Inzamam-ul-Haq Resigns as Afghanistan National Cricket Coach)

According to sources in the Pakaistan Cricket Board (PCB), Inzamam reached a deal after he agreed to lower his monthly salary to eight lakh rupees from the 12 lakh he was getting from the Afghanistan board.
The PCB is set to announce his name as the new chief selector on Tuesday after he resigned as head coach of the Afghanistan cricket team.

PCB chairman Shahryar Khan confirmed that Inzamam would be the new chief selector and all issues surrounding his release from his contract with the Afghanistan Cricket Board had been resolved.
"He is our choice given his vast experience and the board has reached an agreement with Inzamam after the Afghanistan board agreed to release him," Khan said.

Inzamam, a veteran of 120 Tests and 398 One-Day Internationals, came up as a surprise choice for the chief selector's position after other names including those of former Test players Mohsin Khan, Iqbal Qasim and Moin Khan were tipped for this position.

Shahryar said that Inzamam would be given the opportunity to select other members of his selection committee and he had also advised the board to include the captain and coach in the selection process in future.

Under the present system the captain and coach are only consulted by the selectors before finalising any team but Inzamam told the board he wants the captain and coach to be members of the selection committee so that they can take full responsibility for the performance of the team.

Inzamam, who last year signed up with the Afghanistan team as their head coach, has enjoyed success with them as the minnows stunned the eventual World T20 champions, West Indies, in the group stage.
Media reports claimed that Inzamam had emerged as the surprise candidate for the coveted post after advice from the Prime Minister's secretariat to the PCB but Khan dismissed these reports insisting it was the board's decision to approach the former captain.

"We opted for Inzamam as we wanted to bring in someone who had played modern day cricket and who commanded total respect in the cricket circles," Khan added.

Inzamam has in the past worked as batting consultant for the board for a few days but has never accepted a permanent position.

So Afghanistan Head Coach is a better paid position than Pakistan's Chief Selector?
 
Excellent news if true and i hope Inzi makes some good choices for his co-selectors.
 
Glad he's officially the Chief Selector.

Ab bas thora baqi board ka safaya hojaye to Pakistan cricket apne maazi ke glory days pe ajaigi

He has already resigned from his post and the resignation has been accepted , he will be the highest paid selector of Pakistan even if he get paid 7 lac.
 
Being the Head/Batting coach would have been even better but great to see a person of Inzi's caliber getting involved in our cricket. Expecting all the deadweight to be dropped in the near future and for some exciting, new talent to be drafted in.

Sad days for the haters who couldn't stand his awesome facial hair or love for Pakistani delicacies. :inzi
 
Really do hope Inzi meets expectations.

He did admirably as captain of the team and managed to keep everyone together (albeit with some Shoaib issues now and then) - hopefully he can do the same here and isn't influenced by anyone higher up!

Obviously that is not true.

Its a usual practice everywhere , selectors job do not have many prerequusites. A coach much be well qualified these days. Definitely from board to board the salaries vary but I am pretty sure everywhere a head come coach is paid more than twice what a chief selector gets.

but he was one of those guys who did not place trust upon the spin bowlers.

He would often select one spinner even on tracks where batsmen would flourish

I agree that a Head Coach gets paid more than the Chief Selector for the same board. I was just surprised that Afghanistan's Head Coach position was more than Pakistan's Chief Selector position. I would have though that a role as important as Chief Selector deserved a higher salary, but I understand that it's often been unpaid in the past!

Which players does Inzamam like in particular (and dislike)?

Good ones. He doesn't have any regional biases that we know of.

Pace90 said:
This a know fact that Tablighi Jammat people used to spend hours with players in dressing room on then captain Izimam's invitation. Some players like Misbah would not follow the "path" and paid the price and spent best days of his youth out of team. Others succumbed to pressure.
Click to expand...

Would you still be this upset if it were celebs spending hours with the players?

According to Inzi himself, guys like Zaheer Khan, Irfan Pathan and even some of the non-Muslim, Indian players would also attend these gatherings. Would you say that Inzi's mafia abducted them and forced them to sit with them?

What these players do in their free time is none of our business.

That is completely false. The Chief selector gets paid a pretty decent amount these days.

I thought there was an agreement on inzi deciding his own team.. this doesn't look like his team.

wasim haider.. never heard of him but google says he played 3 matches in 92 world cup where he bowled 114 bowls and took 1 wicket. And that's all the international experience he has.. 3 matches in total!

wajahatullah wasti - 6 tests and 15 ODIs.. again very limited international exposure.

tauseef ahmed.. really? isn't he too old now to be holding any positions? and for how long is he been in this pcb setup holding one position or the other. Last played in 1993 - hasn't the game changed so much since then? forget t20.. even the one days and tests have evolved since he retired. How is he going to be a selector? And above all, would he be willing to work under inzi or would he (like mohsin khan) say inzi is too junior for me to be reporting into and I will only report to chairman.
 
Inzi probably just wanted people who followed the games closely and wouldn't interfere in the endgame. Pretty obvious, no?

Inzi is a 90s cricketer so he brought in his pals from the 90s era.

Better than Iqbal Qasim and Haroon Rashid bringing their buddies from the 70-80s

You don't have to have been a great player to be a competent selector. Look how that worked for Iqbal Qasim, good player back in the day but awful selector who kept selecting TTFs. What's more important is being able to identify talent and have knowledge of the domestic circuit.

Tauseef Ahmed is coaching the Sindh team in this Pentangular Cup so knows the domestic scene. Wasti was a selector before.
 
all i know from his members is wasti, and he was not a good batsman one of the slowest strike rates i have witnessed, i hope these members are qualified and actually will pick players on merit and not personal relationships
 
Legendary former batsman Inzamam-ul-Haq is relishing the opportunity to play a key role in a new era for Pakistan.

Inzamam-ul-Haq has been confirmed as Pakistan's chief selector after resigning as Afghanistan coach.

The legendary former Pakistan captain ended his short tenure with Afghanistan following an approach from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

Batting great Inzamam has now been appointed to take a key role in a new era for Pakistan following head coach Waqar Younis' resignation after poor showings at the Asia Cup and World Twenty20 and Shahid Afridi's decision to step down as T20 captain.

The 46-year-old is joined on the selection committee by Wajahatullah Wasti, Tauseef Ahmed and Wasim Haider.

Inzamam said: "It's an honour for me that I can serve Pakistan, I have played a lot for Pakistan but it's for the first time that I have come [as selector] and the PCB has given me such an important responsibility.

"I want to thank ACB [Afghanistan Cricket Board] that they allowed me to do national duty. I worked for them for six months, I am thankful to them for their cooperation.

"The three selectors should be involved in first-class cricket and [we have] one fast bowler, one spinner and one batsman so that we can cover three sectors."

Great decision to jave him as chief selector I hope he selects players on the merit
 
Good thing is all are new faces. No Iqqy Qasim, thankfully :iqasim

What do people think of these guys? I don't know much about them.

Not encouraging to be honest - Wasti was the beggar's Azhar Ali, very limited player & probably with good contacts.

Wasim Haider made the 92 WC team for sheer luck - Waquar & Akram Raja got injured- before & after he hardly played for PAK & his Domestic career is also not that long. Haven't heard much if he is involved in domestic coaching or not.

Tauseef was a fantastic finger spinner, picked from nets against Aussies & won a Test at Karachi against Chappel & Lillee & won PAK a Test at Bangalore. Had been involved in PCB coaching staff in different level for long years BUT, don't think an intelligent guy who can pick ODI teams for recent days. His ODI team pight end up having 2 openers, 5 batsmen & Aamir batting at 7 while Adnan Akmal making T20 team for his keeping skills.

Inzi himself wasn't the best judge of Fast bowlers, therefore PCB MUST appoint a fast bowler to accompany this team - Sohaib or whoever.
 
I do not know if Inzi will do well or bad. But it is a waste really as he would have been very handy as the batting specialist of the team.

You could have gotten Rashid Latif, Aamir Sohail people with integrity and more suited to this complicated role.

As NCA's director Mudasser Nazar would have been the best option. But yea the PCB listening to Waqar is a big thing already even though I do not agree with all of Waqar's suggestions/recommendations.

He would have been perfect for the role. Did they even try to sign him? Or did he reject them?

Can try again in 12 months to hire him but he is crucial for NCA's future.
 
Iirc mudassar and aqib have both said that they wouldn't want to work for the pcb again because they are unprofessional and crap. I don't think those were their words and I may not have remembered correctly, but it would make sense I think.
 
How did he justify selecting Gul after he was hit all over the park in the PSL.
So how does Gul fit in the scheme of things and this whole building for the future story that they sell to the public after every failed campaign ??
 
Reportedly as per Ppers Inzamam has said that Asif took most of his wickets with new ball.

Is it a compliment or is it an objection ?


Doesn't he know that 70-80 % Asif's international wickets are of top order batsmam and not lower order or tail ?


Was his selection questionable because of this Art ?


Just waiting incase any pacer gets injured whom Inzamam picks.
 
Delaying Asif's rehab and entry into domestic cricket is costing Pakistan massively.

He could have helped us win 1 more test in England matching Chris Woakes. Would have been a Series win.

Here we are missing him with the new ball.

CS must understand that our main issue is New Ball bowling.

Let Amir, Wahab & Yasir dislodge the tail and let Asif dislodge top batsman of the opposing Teams as like previous and what exactly he is doing in Fc Cricket this year.
 
Seems to have no eye for talent . Neither does the management .
Some bizzare selections.
How did this bloke fakhar impress him for this format . Dont care about the runs he has Zero potential tbh.
 
Talent scouts in the country are absolutely terrible . That includes micky . Players who are picked are played at the wrong positions with no idea what their role is .
Inzi has been very dissapointing.
 
#sackInzi


Absolutely pathetic, the worst selector we ever had.
 
MMHS said:
Inzi might not be a good choice.

I might be wrong, but I always found him a lazy, extremely backward & loyalist player/captain. For a CS role, one has to be pro-active, passionate, visionary, open to ideas & most importantly aware of whats going around. I didn't find anything in him - being PAK's top player, he couldn't fix his issues with English in 15 years, which probably a 100 man hours job, which indicates his personality. He won't move a single step unless it's essential.

As a Captain, he ticked several boxes - an automatic choice, a great player who could lead from the front, good fielder in Test, had tremendous command over the team. But, I am not sure about his awareness, intelligence or vision. He once took a Test match in NZ to day 5 for 15 minutes, despite 90% chance of thunderstorm, because PAK Captain wasn't aware of the 30 minutes extension rule. He complained for his handle the ball & obstructing the field dismissals against ENG & IND - but both cases the umpire was right; the words he picked for complain indicates that he wasn't aware of the rule - a batsman can be out by 9 or 10 ways; 7/8 are obvious - if a player after 20 years of FC Cricket doesn't know that, it's indicative enough.

I think, Inzi was lucky that his entire Captaincy period was under Woolmer - had WY or Mohsin Khan been there instead of Bob, I don't think we would have seen a better show from PAK than Lalaland (or MoYo), in terms of Captaincy. Also, the command that Inzi had over his team came at a cost to PAK cricket - he wasn't a good leader or man-manager, rather he picked men whom he could manage. PAK won 2 U19 WCs in 2004 & 2006 - of those boys, between 2004 to 2007, if I can recall correctly, only Riaz Afridi played 1 Test. There are at least a dozen player in PAK, who are now around 35, deserved a chance, but never got it during their best age under Inzi.

I don't think Molla is going to bring anything as CS - his only role I see is the Head Coach of U19 team. Great player, a PAK hero, he will draw respect from the boys & can inspire them to hard work on fundamentals of the game. He was extremely cool customer, could absorb all sorts of pressure while chasing, but his tactical nuances, I am afraid wasn't better than Afridi or WY or MoYo. Won't be a good choice for Coach or selector at National level.

54 weeks after .................
 
So much hope and so much expectations. It was a left-field move, but some of you were right. He is a selfish and hypocritical individual. It was foolish on our part to expect that he was going to change. Age can make many a man wise, but clearly, nothing has changed for Inzi in the last decade.

Agreed, I was very happy with his appointment and had high expectations. First the test series in Windies and Australasia followed by the WI ODI squad and now this have been absolutely abysmal selections. I did not think it was possible, but Inzi is actually worse than his predecessors.
 
round and round we go.. look for Kamran to be back in a series or 2

Inzamam is a total joke. He was never qualified to be a chief selector in the first place
 
His contract got extended last year i think

When will his contract expire enough of him
