PCB chief flays Akhtar
Karachi: PCB Chairman Naseem Ashraf on Saturday lashed out at fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar saying he had lost the confidence of the entire board.
Reacting to Akhtar’s statement that the Board had adopted double standards while awarding the new central contracts, Ashraf said the paceman needed to regain the confidence of the Board.
“The decision not to award him a central contract was unanimous. They were doubts over his fitness and focus for the national team. He didn’t accumulate the minimum points needed to get a central contract,” Ashraf said.
Akhtar came at the bottom of the list in the new points system adopted by the Board to give central contracts to 15 players.
He has also refused to sign the special retainer announced for him and few other senior players who did not get central contracts. — PTI
