Tensions (alleged) between Ehsan Mani and Wasim Khan?

[Savak]

According to the media, some tensions have developed between Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani. Apparently the chairman of the PCB has the final authority to make major decisions in the PCB i.e. hiring/firing of captain, coaches and other officials in the PCB whereas the PCB Cricket Committee can only make recommendations. The CEO of the PCB on the other hand has to implement the directives of the PCB Chairman.

Apparently WK is not happy about this and wants more powers to be able to make a difference whereas EM is not willing to let go of his powers and if WK is not given the powers he wants then there is a chance he might resigns and choose not to complete his tenure.

Which media is reporting this now? If there is anything as such as 'professional' media in the first place.

Lmao i thought the same my goodness ..

 

[Deewana Mastana]

The problem is that they're always so laid back with everybody and everything.

Wasim has come from a country and from an infrastructure where things are done consistently and improving what they can on a daily basis bit by bit.

In a country like Pakistan that isn't the case as it is just not happening as people waste time go on about their daily business in such a way that shows complete disregard to others and therefore the hardwork the other person is putting in or change he wants to bring a lot quicker.

 

[BunnyRabbit]

A masala media report apparently.

But if there were to be tensions between them, I would incline to siding with Wasim Khan though.

Ehsan Mani's only expertise is negotiations whether brokering economic deals or de escalating of a situation.

 

[Markhor]

I highly doubt this. Ehsan Mani doesn't seem the sort of personality to impose himself so strongly in the decision making process.

 

[Hasan123]

All these type of rumours always come out after we lose a series or get knocked out of a tournament.

Wasim Khan is a softie. He is always crying about the hostility and criticism that he has received from media and ex-players.

He was expecting VIP treatment because he carries a UK passport and speaks with a posh accent.

He is looking for excuses to leave the post and return to the UK because he has proved to be out of his depth in this role.

Or he is hoping for a pay rise which will convince him to do a favor on the nation and sign a new contract.

Yawn. A broken record. Your claims he has proven to be out of his depth are laughable just because he is an IK appointee.

 

[Canistani Hero]

Mani brought him in to begin with. Unlikely

 

[Savak]

Hope Saj can speak to WK to confirm

Stick to what you know best- defending crooks. WK was in line to be ECB chairman, an organisation with a budget of 100s of £M.

Thats not good enough for him apparently.

Its needs to be someone who speaks fluent urdu, fake degree and a track record of financial irregularities. Don't forget the recommendation slip for a price. Also he needs to be the cousins brothers brother who played for Pakistan twice via a "reccomendation"

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why rot started.

 

[Nadeemp]

I have had the pleasure of meeting meeting wasim khan 16-18 months back. Looked like a solid , sharp personality.

 

[coy0607]

losing begets bad things... like controversy, infighting

And I congratulate ECB for dodging the bullet. He is out of his depth. The way he handled the departure of Mickey and his succession plan was a total joke and proved that he is not up to the task. ECB must be relieved to see the back of him.

The hot mess that Wasim Khan created with they way he handled Mickey’s departure and his succession plan showed that he does not have what it takes to end the rot.

He is incompetent and always crying.

We have high standards you know.

Seriously speaking, trying to defend previous corrupt regimes to discredit WK and Mani has reached new levels - laughable.

I wonder what’s the tension about.
One wants to extend Misbah and Waqar’s contract for 5 years, and the other wants to extend it for 10 years?

Wasim Khan was never in line to be ECB chairman, the claims keep getting enlarged. He was shortlisted to be interviewed for the Director position that had been vacated by Andrew Strauss, a post for which Ashley Giles was always favourite. In any case, that role carries a smaller remit than what he negotiated with the PCB.

WK was the CEO at Leicester,he had run chance to shine. Sooner or later he would have been CEO.

.

At the risk of sounding snobby, like my maternal family he speaks with the accent of a smart person from a humble background whose intelligence let him do well at his government school.

His school is about as far lower than Imran Khan’s school as you can get!

 

[Last Monetarist]

Yes, but he was not in the running to become ECB chairman or CEO at the time he took up the job in Pakistan. Like any rational person, Wasim Khan took the best job available at the time. If he returns to the UK now, he'll be in a much better negotiating position to apply for those roles.

 

[Saj]

Hope Saj can speak to WK to confirm

Yes. I've asked.

 

[Junaids]

No offence, but you probably don’t understand how the British class system would have excluded Wasim Khan even if he was white.

There is a reason why the only English cricketers knighted in recent decades were Alastair Cook and Andrew Strauss. Social class, and which private boarding school they attended. Same reason why they were given the captaincy.

Colin Graves was recently the ECB chair, and we had the extraordinary situation of Andrew Strauss seemingly overruling and embarrassing his boss about KP’s career. In effect, MCC connections enable the apparent subordinate to embarrass and humiliate the man who is technically his own boss.

The ECB is really the TCCB.

And the TCCB was only ever camouflage to allow the MCC to continue to run English cricket.

Do you expect Joe Root to get knighted?

 

[MenInG]

Yes. I've asked.

Wasim Khan has told PakPassion that these are stories meant to stir attention and have no truth in them.

 

[Junaids]

Do you expect Joe Root to get knighted?

Put it this way.

Jimmy Anderson has 600 Test wickets - more than any pace bowler in the history of the world.

Where is his knighthood?

Not denying that it exists but he was already a candidate and would have almost had the job sooner or later.

No businessman would take the PK job for the reasons we have seen. This was a labour of passion and love- We have bitter ex cricketers, fans that cant see the wood from trees and an media that lives to stir confusion and trouble.

It will come

The domestic reforms has been a huge success, something which your crooks still believe werent needed. I can remember some duffer saying we needed more teams and as for your suggestions on how to improve Domestic cricket, the less said the better.

Those reforms will take time to work their way through. Its not WK fault that we have 3 decent cricketers to build team around. No coach is going to work wonders with a team consisting of 3 players and i guarantee if we had kept Mickey the likes of you would be the 1st to tell us( if you didnt do so at the time) that he was useless and we needed a local coach. Your comments are what i call badniyaat.

I don't know, he didn't sound very convincing in his rebuttal to TV, it was a clear indication that stuff might have happened behind the scenes but he was trying to suppress his emotions, feelings and just weakly mentioned that when you work in a corporate environment, you will have disagreements

ISLAMABAD: Ehsan Mani, the Chairperson of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), defended CEO Wasim Khan on Friday, claiming that no one in Pakistan is more competent than him.


During a meeting of the Standing Committee on Ministry for Inter-Provincial Coordination, he remarked this in answer to a query from MNA Iqbal Mohammad Ali (IPC).

“No one in Pakistan is as capable as Wasim Khan,” Mani informed the parliamentarians, eliciting chuckles from the audience.

“What has he done, for God’s sake? Many great cricketers, like Fawad Alam, were overlooked, and where is the merit in selecting players based on the advice of an MNA? ” Ali responded.

Gul Zafar Khan, another member, agreed with the remark.

Mani challenged this notion, claiming that everything was done on the basis of merit.

The PCB Chairman was also chastised by the NA committee for refusing to provide information of PCB officers’ salary with the House, particularly those of Wasim Khan.

In an in-camera meeting, he claimed he could disclose it.

“Does it have to be a state secret?” It has to be out in the open. An MQM-P MNA stated, “The PCB should not be shy of discussing salary details with the committee, which is made up of reputable Members of parliament.”

He went on to say that the PCB chairperson’s explanation did not satisfy him.

“Even the prime minister’s salary is not a secret. All PCB workers’ salaries, including Wasim Khan’s, should be made public. There should be no ambiguity.

Iqbal also requested the Ministry of IPC to hold a public discussion on the planned sports strategy rather than discussing it with a limited group of people.

“It needs to be debated openly since the future of Pakistani sports is at stake. The policy must be debated in the committee meeting, not by the federations that have been chosen. Every internationally recognised sports federation must be trusted.”

The House was informed on the Olympic plans by IPC Secretary Mohsin Mushtaq. “Every arrangement for the big event, in which a selected Pakistan contingent would participate, is in order with the support of the concerned.”
