PCB to allow Misbah-ul-Haq to coach a PSL team if he gets an offer, to gain 'experience' in the role

[Abdullah719]

Wasim Khan on the topic of Misbah and PSL:

"When we approached Misbah about this role, he told us that he was in talks with two PSL franchises so when we decided to offer him this dual role, we reviewed the situation internally. How can we get him to have extra experience? In the next 365 days, we're playing just 42 days of international cricket. In that, 9 days of T20I cricket and 3 days of ODI cricket, that's it. So we were thinking as to how we can give him exposure, considering we have 3 major international events coming up in the Asia Cup and T20 World Cups in 2020/2021. So we decided that if Misbah is approached and given an opportunity, he will be allowed to take it up. He is a leader with us and is also a credible individual in the world. We are very happy and it's a proud moment for the country to have Misbah sitting at the helm"

"PCB has made a strategic decision, because Misbah hasn't coached a team before though he has worked with individuals and world class players. But he doesn't have that much exposure. He is the right person to take us forward. We've decided that if he has a chance to coach a PSL team, that will only benefit Pakistan because we're only playing cricket for 42 of the next 365 days. Working in PSL will give him a chance to work in a high pressure environment"

So this is to get Misbah some coaching experience ?

But shouldn't it be the other way round - first get some coaching experience in PSL before being appointed as a national team coach ?

 

[SensiblePakFan]

Gd move, misbah is a don

 

[QalandarFan]

Waiting for the news “Misbah buys Pakistan” )

 

[ManFan]

And with one swoop, Misbah ul-Haq is the most powerful man in Pakistan cricket.

A truly Machiavellian individual (a compliment).

LQ should rope in Deano in my opinion.

Also some conflict of interest with PSL and National side thing....

 

[Indiafan]

He should be given 2 PSL teams to coach so that he cangain experience for his dual role

 

[cricketInsight]

THIS.


He has already selected all the players for domestic cricket. Why not coach all PSL teams! He will soon become most experienced.

 

[Artaxerxes]

PSL franchises choose their coaching staff,PCB has no role in this.PCB allowed Mickey to be head coach of Karachi Kings,it will not object if Misbah is chosen to be head coach by owners of Islamabad United.

 

[IMMY69]

He didn’t just burn his kit back in 2008/2009...
He cast a voodoo spell over Pakistan Cricket.

Jokingside, time will tell if he’s a success or not and i’m Willing to give him that.

 

[The Viper]

This is way too much. I don't think Misbah should be given this role. He is already been given a lot. It would have been more beneficial if he watched games and scouted without coaching.

There is having trust in Misbah, which is fair, but giving far too many roles is ridiculous.

 

[topspin]

Deplorable

 

[Fahdi]

Ok this will be huge conflict of interest. PCB needs to ask Islamabad United look elsewhere otherwise they must demand that Misbah refuses the role.

Misbah at the moment is the most powerful man in Pakistan's National team affairs. He is both the coach and chief selector of the national team and therefore he should not be involved with any PSL team in any capacity whatsoever. His job during the PSL should be to scout for talent as thoroughly and impartially as possible.

Infact Misbah shouldn't even be allowed to do commentary during the PSL.

This will be wrong in every sense and only the most blind of supporters will look to justify this.

 

[Fahdi]

I will remind people that PCB is not involved in appointing Islamabad United's head coach.

But PCB must make sure to prevent it.

 

[QalandarFan]

LQ should rope in Deano in my opinion.

Yeah if Fawad Rana uses his brain and fires Aqib Javed maybe we will rope in Dean Jones. Qalandars really ****** me off last year by not sacking Aqib and roping in Salman Butt of all people. They better right the wrongs next year.

 

[Saj]

Worrying that one man could be national team's head coach, chief selector and a PSL head coach.

 

[pakistani pride]

Worrying that one man could be national team's head coach, chief selector and a PSL head coach.

Lets be happy that since the creation of Pakistan we do not have the likes of Wasim Bari, Haroon Rashid, Intikhab Alam, Mohsin Khan etc in these roles anymore.

 

[daytrader]

People forget PSL is t20 and fun cricket. Misbah's main KPI will be to improve test ranking. You guys really think a man that lives and breathes cricket is going to pick players for the test team based on t20 performances??

 

[Golden arm]

So this is to get Misbah some coaching experience ?

But shouldn't it be the other way round - first get some coaching experience in PSL before being appointed as a national team coach ?

Totally agreed

100 percent

Infact Misbah should have been groomed as future coach by

Level 3 coaching course from UK/ AU sponsored by PCB

Coaching a provincial team for atleast 1 year just like Hussey/ Langer

 

[Golden arm]

Forgetting Pakistan's batting coach as well
He is 4 in 1

 

[Saj]

Lets be happy that since the creation of Pakistan we do not have the likes of Wasim Bari, Haroon Rashid, Intikhab Alam, Mohsin Khan etc in these roles anymore.

Haroon Rasheed and Inti are both still lingering around Pakistan cricket.

 

[pakistani pride]

Haroon Rasheed and Inti are both still lingering around Pakistan cricket.

Could be but its really refreshing to see Misbah as a coach and selector.

People act as if PAK is the leading force in WC and Misbah is going to take it down.

 

[Suleiman]

This appointment is worse than opening with Bilal Asif in batting vs Zimbabwe or bowling with 4 pacers and no spinners vs India in the 2016 WT20.

No sense whatsoever.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

And with one swoop, Misbah ul-Haq is the most powerful man in Pakistan cricket.

A truly Machiavellian individual (a compliment).

This isn't your quote dude. I read something pretty much exactly the same on cricinfo.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

Question to the Misbah fans...why doesn't Misbah see this as a conflict of interest? I know the answer, but want to hear the latest excuses.

 

[mosh101]

This is really funny to read.

Goes to show how desperate PCB is.

 

[Usman Chadda]

This is getting embarrassing now. Blatant conflict of interest being supported by the PCB

 

[moghul]

He should be given 2 PSL teams to coach so that he cangain experience for his dual role

And play as captain in the third team to coach young players while playing with them.

 

[ManFan]

This isn't your quote dude. I read something pretty much exactly the same on cricinfo.

Well, I didn’t read it on any website.

Just gave my thoughts on the passing scene.

 

[Forum363]

The more I think about this appointment, the less sense it makes.

In what industry would you hire someone with no experience, pay them a ridiculous salary and then say you will let them get another part time job in the future to learn some more skills to bring to this current job.

 

[Kroll]

If the premise was to give him experience, then surely you give it to him before he takes up the national coaching role?

Such bizarre rationale by the PCB. What's worse is that PCT has been turned into Misbah's private club for his own amusement and to serve his friends.

 

[Ryw]

I hope PCB realised their mistake while not considering Dean Jones because of Misbah

 

[saeedhk]

Misbah is a cunning man. I don’t get why people like him so much. This guy never really won us anything. In fact, he threw the 2007 T20 WC and tuk tuked in 2011 semi final vs India.
Now he is coaching Pak team without experience. One of the many reasons why Pak will never become a top class side when guys like Misbah are running it.
