It's not even been a month since Rameez has been appointed PCB chairman, and we have seen ridiculous things happening under him:

-Misbah, Waqar resigned
-England and NZ backed out
-Rameez Raja goes on to call it a western conspiracy along with Sheikh Rasheed
-Wasim Khan has also resigned
-Regional coaches have been removed from selection committee

Rameez Raja is giving a good fight for Ijaz Butt's legacy.

Hope he can do his job well. Atm he seems just jumping into things and considering his commentary and current cricket knowledge I have doubts this will turn into a good step .

This was an excellent decision though
 
Ramiz is an ego-maniac who wants to hog all the spotlight. In a country like Pakistan, a deluded fool such as him, who doesn't understand cricket but appeals to the mainstream crowd will always be popular and in the limelight. While a professional like Wasim Khan (arguably Pakistan's finest cricket administrator since Kardar) is forced to resign.

He has been here for barely a month and Ramiz has already destabilized the entire cricket structure a month prior to a mega-event, sent one of the only professionals ever to run Pak Cricket home, and set a new example for a cricket board chairman making idiotic and unprofessional public statements.
 
Letting Wasim Khan go is one of the dumbest decisions of all time.
 
This was an excellent decision though

From neutral pov I don't really like misbah as a coach and a loi leader . But some people over here seems to have a short memory of Misbah service for pak.
Let set aside performance on the field but after spot fixing he reshaped pakistan image for the better and regained PCT respect over the cricketing fraternity.

Lol blaming Ramiz for the pull outs. Misbah's no.1 cheerleader has got desperate.
 
Wasim Khan was one of the best thing happened to Pak cricket in a while. Now he resigned.
I see no light across the tunnel now.
It's shameful that PCB decided to let him go.
Best of luck to Wasim Khan. You are genuinely good hearted person.
 
I predicted raja would be the final nail in the coffin of pakistan cricket but the architect in reality is the deluded khan as pm , everything the pti touch turns to a disaster.

Raja himself used his brother to get into pakistan team he is product of sifarish and connections an average player , absolutely clueless insight as a commentator and now we have him as pcb chairman thanks to the messiah khan who started the ruin in first place by getting rid of mickey , departmental cricket and then trying to appoint foreign people as ceo which they failed to do anything substantial only to destroy the psl brand with the covid bubble debacle and najam sethis work and foundations he built to revive cricket .
 
The guy is yet to host a series.

Under him, we had two series that got cancelles
 
Complete nutcase!

I don’t think Shahid Afridi would be this crazy as PCB chairman, that says a lot!
 
Looking back at RR's best work as a commentator, all of it has mostly been hindsight.

He's in his element when giving a review of what's already transpired, 'this is how they won' OR 'they did not do this hence lost' etc..etc.. Not exactly visionary stuff, is it?

His live commentary revolves around stating the obvious, still better than Sir Akram in my opinion. RR does revel in his role as a commentator, but it does not have the cricketing intelligence of say someone like Pointing or Pietersen.

Which makes one wonder, what exactly did they see in him for the PCB top job?
 
Don't worry your idol Misbah will be back as director. More money and power for Misbah and more joy for you.
 
Misbah as director?

I guess we should mentally prepare for someone like Faisal Iqbal as the head coach of Pakistan
 
Why not IK intervene to keep Wasim Khan? Ramiz was appointed by IK and he would bound to listen him.
 
Early days, but yes a terrible start.

I worry about the coming days in Pakistan cricket.

Sometimes a clear out is good, other times it becomes a disaster.
 
RR has been given a free hand by IK to clean up the PCB.

Misbah/Waqar resignations justified
Not Rameez fault NZ pulled out
 
My neutral 5 c's worth, If he was responsible for Mishbah's ouster as a coach, he's at least done one thing correct.
How could a panel evaluating Mickey arthur contain Misbah and later he becomes the coach ? aint that conflict of intrest?
All said and done , i dont think he had the nous as a coach to carry pak to greater heights , that he achieved as a captain emerging out of the 2010 match fixing days.
My respects to misbah as a captain and player, but coach is a bridge too far.

But where does Wasim Khan fall into this clean up. He might have charged in £££ but he was still worth his salt

Doubt the PM sees it that way. WK had his success and failures. He has to take both on the chin

What exactly are his failures?

Who can firmly claim that it was WK who appointed Misbah?

This is the only positive achievement of Ramiz Raja so far.

The PSL 6 and PSL 7 Covid and Bio Secure Bubble Fiasco

The PCB PTV so called $200 million deal turning out to be false

Failing to get NZ and ECB to tour

DRS Controversy

Hafeez being unfairly called back from the CPL

He has to take responsibility for the bad things in his tenure as well
 
Knee jerk reaction. Misbah and Waqar leaving is probably the best thing happened to Pakistan cricket. They have done nothing but destroyed Pakistan cricket.

Eng and NZ did not pull out because of RR. I feel the front foot response from PCB was great.

WK resigned due to family reasons.
 
When EM and WK joined the PCB, they wanted to clean up house as well, but they did it in a gradual phased manner rather than adopting the blood bath approach. Ramiz being trigger happy is going to create a lot of panic and insecurity in the PCB and even the team where everyone will just look to save their own behinds and will not be able to focus on their jobs properly.

this point shows your actual concern
 
Ramiz is an ego-maniac who wants to hog all the spotlight. In a country like Pakistan, a deluded fool such as him, who doesn't understand cricket but appeals to the mainstream crowd will always be popular and in the limelight. While a professional like Wasim Khan (arguably Pakistan's finest cricket administrator since Kardar) is forced to resign.

He has been here for barely a month and Ramiz has already destabilized the entire cricket structure a month prior to a mega-event, sent one of the only professionals ever to run Pak Cricket home, and set a new example for a cricket board chairman making idiotic and unprofessional public statements.

True, but it was very unlikely that Wasim Khan would prolong his tenure as CEO.

Still, I would wait to see what happens from now on.

In a country like Pakistan, we cannot be too critical about these decisions because one thing I do like about Ramiz is that he is decisive, maybe he needs a bit more direction but that maturity should come soon.
 
I have no issues with RR letting WK go, as newly appointed PCB Chairman, he has the write to appoint the team he wants and is comfortable with. What i do have issues with is the manner in which he humiliated WK from day one.
 
Naah, you can't just subtly squeeze in Misbah and Waqar's resignation in there with all else ;) That was a terrific move and one we'll be thankful to RR for for life! The good for nothing duo had to be booted out! Misbah will remain the worst thing to happen to Pakistan cricket.

RR's reign, however, has gone off to a bad start. WK should have been persisted with. Though we need to give RR at least a couple years to make his mark. Let's see.
 
This post is literally like Pakistani media putting unnecessary pressure on a newly appointed person. How can you blame Rameez for New Zealand and England pulling out of the serious, how are you so sure about Wasim Khan was forced to resign? Ridiculous to blame someone who's been in the office for weeks not even a whole month. Just dumb speculation!
 
Wasim Khan had 2 massive failures and therefore got the sack:

1. Failure to deliver short term results. The buck stops with him. One can't hide behind long term direction-fixes without delivering at least some wins in the short term. Delivered nothing on the field with his chosen incompetent management which led to the team going further backwards.
2. Poor Communication. Failed to make his case to stakeholders that his long term fixes were going in the right direction. It is the CEOs job to communicate like a leader, build alliances. Also looked out of sorts in the wake of England pulling out. Left it to Raja to take ECB head on and make them accountable.

Ramiz may yet turn out to be a disaster. I have been opposed to his selection. But nothing I have seen so far is too much debatable.
 
RR started his term as PCB Top brass on wrong foot. The situation didn’t help much but his trigger happy nature needs to be harnessed. I always had a complain of Mani that the old guy was too polite & reactive, his successor is over killing proactiveness.

It was obvious that WK won’t have stayed longer than his initial contract, Rambo’s appointment has only expedited his inhabitable exit - no love lost here. He did start lots good things but at the same time took too many jerkies on his plate to chew, hence ended up with over promises- that $200mn commitment excited PP that time but I never could calculate where the money could come from!!!! It indeed not coming.

Coming to RR, I don’t thing he has done much damage (read error) so far - changes in personal was always on the cards with the change of regime and to be honest the ousted personals bar WK were not striking gold either, Misbah, WY were living on edge for months now, left with dignity from their experience but this guy Mo Wasim is still holding on to be sacked (which is fine - this will make him experienced going forward). Read that Shadab’s happy hours are also curtailed, which is not a bad call either - PAK’s future captain must hold on to a playing spot on cricket merit.

What body blow that RR can do is going forward with his recruitments for the critical administrative positions. On cricket field I believe enough lessons had been learnt which should smoothen the process of hiring a foreign coaching staff over deshi greats and thanks to WK to stamp that - two years sacrifice isn’t that costly if it keeps the “critics” silent when it comes to hiring foreign back-room staffs for may be next 10-12 years at least - PAK & PCB might be ready by then with competent local coaches; right now even SRL has Hathura, Mahela, Ramanayek, Attapatu……

My fear is, Rameez will be soon, if not already, under immense pressure and his first safety net reaction will be to shield himself with his pals from his playing days - Moin, Aaquib, Sohail, Inzi, Wasim, Waquar, Mushi, Saq…..even Latif or Ijaz at administrative roles. Apart from management qualifications, I have a bigger issue with that 90s batch as I religiously followed PAK cricket those days - PAK shouldn’t go back to the days with lots of ODIs & tri series in UAE - the vehicle might shift to T20s, and which unfortunately it’s a better platform for the act…. On personal note, I’ll take Misbah as an administrator than anyone of the 90s batch. And, I am damn sure he’ll do MUCH better as an administrator than he was the selector or coach.

Anyway, for the OP - don’t think Rambo has done much unpredictable, so your concern is probably a bit hyper, but indeed he can fuel it going forward. As I heard from a friend of mine here - that tool Moin is going to replace WK …. That’s like replacing a S Class Mercedes with a Lada. Good luck to PAK cricket - Azam will look fantastic as WK, more so as vice captain or future captain.

I agree with your sentiments.

I feel that Ramiz is trying to impress Imran Khan - trying to hit the ground running and his haste to show himself to be a worthy leader could lead us into more problems.

Given the experience of Geoff Lawson and now Wasim Khan in the manner they have been discarded. Given the manner in which the PCB dealt with Steve Rixon's payment issues, do you think any foreigner in their right frame of mind will happily get involved with the PCB again?
 
A lot have happened since RR took charge.

But, to be fair, there were certain things that were beyond his control. NZ pulling out had nothing to do with him.
 
Pakistan cricket, as always remains completely unstable and without a proper vision because everyone is being replaced every few years. I am sure the chief selector will get replaced as well without being on the job for very long.

In a few years, we will probably get Afridi, Hafeez or some other former player to take over everything and we can repeat this process again.

Until Pakistan gets proper stability and long-term vision, I do not see it going anywhere. The mediocrity will continue like it has for the past 20 years.

There will still be foreign candidates interested in roles within PCB, but perhaps not the top-level candidates that Pakistan cricket needs and craves.
 
If anyone's reign's been disastrous it's the two cowards in the OP at the top of list that have bailed right before a WC. Not before destroying the team and leaving no middle order.

RR's just starting the role so I think we need to re-assess who's reign has been a disaster.

No, he will do good, all he is doing is just draining the swamp.

I;m glad Misbah's dark days are over.

Wasim Khan's exit is a set back, no doubt about it but I have gut feeling Ramiz will bring some positive changes to Pakistan cricket.
 
Pakistan cricket is a disaster.

Ideally Imran Khan should have curtailed the power of PM appointing PCB chairman and made it truly autonomous. The decision has been contradictory to what he used to say before becoming PM.


He should have had a proper committee of past and current cricketers to come with up a viable system that everyone agrees on so that we can get a consistent system without too many changes. Instead he acts like a dictator and command his idea be iimplemented. This can't bring any postive change. Trust me new government comes in and the system will be changed again.
 
He should have had a proper committee of past and current cricketers to come with up a viable system.

They are not capable of this. They are the product of a corrupt dog eat dog system, not a British private school.

All they see is $$$ and survival. Everything else is secondary. Merit is not a word in their lexicon.

And if anyone pokes their head out to make a difference haters like Mamoon pop out of the woodworks.
 
Imran Khan is partly responsible for the shambles. Ramiz Raja won’t last a year but wil cause significant damage. Pak Cricket is at its lowest point. The T20 squad will fail miserably. Ramiz Raja will soon realise the hot seat is too hot for him and he will much prefer being a pundit.
 
Wasim Khan was doing well. Don't know why he has resigned, doesn't make any sense.
 
Love him or hate him, there's never a dull moment with Ramiz. The new sheriff in town is living up to his reputation.
 
"Disastrous" reign ??? seriously immature comments , the guy just started and he already labelled as a failure . But, "sensational" threads catch more attention , that's for sure.

Its like a very promising batsman came to open his innings , facing a very hostile bowling in a very difficult wicket, got beaten out side the off stump couple of times, still not out and labelling him a disaster. We need to take a deep breath , please.
 
Was going to be hard for Ramiz and Wasim to work together when both wanted to be the big bosses. Ramiz has the right to choose his own team since he will be judged and accountable for his own performance. Wasim had his run
 
Somethings were beyond his control. But he didn't make it easy with his statements.

Just keep silence for a while.
 
najam sethis work and foundations he built to revive cricket .

Does anyone know where is Mr Mahmood Sadiq from DIN, he is the kind of man Pakistan cricket needs. Sharp as a tack, and real visionary, atleast twice as good as Mr Najam.
 
Somethings were beyond his control. But he didn't make it easy with his statements.

Ramiz's aggression from the outset is something to admire, but yes, maybe a few fewer statements to the media could have been better.

On the other hand, I'm glad he's removing vermin from our system slowly and gradually.
 
The names being linked with key roles at the moment don't excite me.

Too many former players who have previously had roles and done very little.
 
If RR can bring the 90s spirit and attitude back in the boys, i am happy.

England and NZ backed out, atleast that has nothing to do with Ramiz. Or is Ramiz also responsible for fall of Kabul. LoL
 
Won't be surprised to see inti back..or rashid or bari..perhaps even that useless dudoo iqbal qasim..

Rambo is all talk..always has been..
 
It would be funny if we found out in a few years that WK had had enough of Pakistan and just wanted out. He may even have had recommended RR to our fearless leader.

BTW, was the loss of MisWaq that huge even if it was untimely?
 
From neutral pov I don't really like misbah as a coach and a loi leader . But some people over here seems to have a short memory of Misbah service for pak.
Let set aside performance on the field but after spot fixing he reshaped pakistan image for the better and regained PCT respect over the cricketing fraternity.

no one takes away their playing day glories, they were not COACHES misbah/waqar/mohsin/miandad etc
 
Gosh, a lot of things that have happened aren’t Ramiz’s fault. He might be rubbish or turn out really good. Give the guy a chance though.
I don’t mind him speaking out against England and New Zealand as they properly ditched pak cricket at the last minute.
Rambo also has is trying to focus on grass roots and reviving school cricket.
I wish Wasim Khan stayed.
Everyone has a different way of works and vision. Let’s see what he does.
 
In another thread I said Ramiz is like Palpatine...


Well in fact it is Imran Khan who is Emperor Palpatine/ Darth Sidious whereas Ramiz is Darth Vader!
 
Pakistan may play qualifiers if TTFs become coaches and selectors.
 
Seems Rambo's forgotten that the Chairman's post has always been a non-paid role...

I think the greatest achievement for his reign was getting the ECB chairman fired.:yk2:yk2
 
If anyone's reign's been disastrous it's the two cowards in the OP at the top of list that have bailed right before a WC. Not before destroying the team and leaving no middle order.

RR's just starting the role so I think we need to re-assess who's reign has been a disaster.

They're different roles bud. RR is chairman, Misbah and Waqar were coaches. How're you even comparing their reigns? Compare RR to previous chairmen or better yet, wait till Misbah becomes chair and then have a go
 
I know NZ backed out but the greatest thing that has happened under Ramiz is that Pakistan cricket got rid of two: Misbah and Waqar. That is already a perfect start; other things are secondary.

Thank you Raja jee

You need to visit a therapist for your grudge against RR for kicking Misbah out on his backside. Because the NZ, Eng withdrawals were not his fault and WI coming to Pakistan with Covid Positive cases were not his fault either. We all know where you real hatred stems from.

other boards before inviting Pakistan make sure we quaratine. Rameez should had enforced the West Indies to send their players by enforcing quaratine and following proper procedures.

He infact risked the health of the Pakistani cricketers aswell. Someone should take action against him.

As for NZ and England, well they had intelligence report and yeh rameez cant provide security but he cant even convince other countries either. Plus, they cancelled their series and he stood their watching couldnt do anything about it.

Had this been Waseem Khan fully in charge fans would had been bashing him for not being able to convince the counterpart.

Anyways, still waiting for Rameez to actually host a full series. Please do tag me when that happens.

Until than, 3 series under him and all 3 have been postponed. Waiting for him to make PSL a tamasha :)
 
Everything that matters is moving in the right direction under Ramiz. This has been a great tenure till now - hope it continues this way!
 
I'll be fair I was critical of ramiz appointment but so far his reign has been positive.

Getting rid of waqar and misbah is a positive, the pakistan team have a more attacking positive brand of cricket now .

Domestic cricket and pitches need to be improved plus a lot of seniors need to be axed at domestic level who are blocking the spot of younger players developing by not getting any games I think a cap needs to be in place , domestic players must retire by 40 , and only 2 players over 35 should be in any playing xi.

Likes of malik , kamran and afridi need to be given the boot In the psl , it's stopping younger players getting their chance.

As for tour cancellation its totally unfair to blame raja on security related issues and covid

Series isn't hosted at Ramiz's backyard :facepalm:

Please get over Misbah's sacking. The guy was a curse to Pakistan cricket and the farther away he is, the better off we are. Don't let your bias diminish your value as a poster at PP
 
Pros

- Removing the Misbah-Waqar duo.

- Appointing Faisal Hasnain. I wouldn't have let Wasim Khan go. He oversaw long overdue domestic and NHPC reforms, culled many of the dinosaurs in PCB, set up a merchandising outlet, the Sky/Supersports TV deal and helped bring CricViz on board.

However Hasnain has an excellent CV and is as good a replacement I could've hoped for.

Cons

- Making narcissistic and needless media statements on a regular basis, e.g. saying he told Babar what field to set against Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, blank check waiting if we beat India etc.

- Not appointing permanent batting and bowling coaches. Having different coaches for different series will lead to mixed messages. Youngsters like Haider Ali and Abdullah Shafiq need proper mentoring by qualified coaches not Ramiz's commentating buddies like Hayden who turned up for one assignment and picked up his cheque after doing some cheerleading.

- Drop-in pitches. It would probably be cheaper to upskill the current curators and improve existing facilities than transport and maintain drop-ins. Drop-ins have also been criticised down under for being too flat and lacking the pace/bounce of turf pitches, so this seems a needless and costly experiment.

Ramiz was the CEO in 2004 who ordered bowling friendly domestic pitches which destroyed FC cricket for a generation so I don't trust his promises to improve FC surfaces.
 
They are going to hire a new batting coach of NHPC


Is Yousaf going to sacked by PCB? A lot players have praised him for enhancing their game. Is he being sacked for an old fight with Ramiz Raja?

Well done rameez
 
Can't fault the man for his ideas and passion.

The problem is if these ideas and dreams don't become a reality, then people will start to wonder what is going on.

Already people were criticising him for the beating India at the T20 World Cup comment regarding the blank cheque from the businessman - which hasn't showed up as yet.
