PCB summons coach, captain
KARACHI: An evaluation committee issued a demand on Sunday for Pakistan cricket coach Intikhab Alam and captain Mohammad Yousuf to explain the team"s dismal performance on their tour of Australia.
The results have prompted an investigation by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
The six-man committee is headed by former captain Wasim Bari, who is the PCB"s chief operating officer, and includes another former captain, Wasim Akram, in place of Haroon Rasheed, who was originally named as a member.
The others on the board are PCB governing Board member Wazir Ali Khoja, PCB director Zakir Khan, former team manager Yawar Saeed and PCB legal adviser Taffazul Rizvi.
Bari said the committee will start its work this coming Friday.
"We are starting our evaluation work from Friday and on the first day coach Alam and manager Raqeeb have been invited and the following day our captain Yousuf will appear," Bari told AFP.
Pakistan captain Mohammad Yousuf, who returned to Pakistan on Wednesday, vowed to continue as skipper despite a hint from the PCB that there will be a change of captaincy.
Bari said the terms of references of the committee included match performance, player discipline and any other issue relating to the tour of Australia.
The committee will also probe all-rounder Shahid Afridi"s ball-tampering case in the fifth and final one-day in Perth on last Sunday.
