Watch: for the team’s poor performance in the WC Wasim Akram slams PCB chief Zaka Ashraf
Wasim Akram does not mince words and has the bones to make his displeasure known to the public. This time it was no different as the legendary pacer slammed PCB chief Zaka Ashraf for the team’s poor show in the World Cup so far. Ashraf, who took over from Najam Sethi as CEO before the Asia Cup, has so far failed to inspire the team. Rather than sticking to the old template, which brought Pakistan success, Ashraf has brought in new changes that have not gone too well with players.
In a scathing attack, Akram said, “You came in as Chairman of PCB and immediately chopped and changed as you brought in your personnel. You were interested in hiring foreign coaches, and you got your wish fulfilled. Next time, please don’t think about yourself, but think of the team first. All the previous CEOs of PCB built a system very carefully and put the team first.”

He further said, “You changed that and instead made the National Coaching Center. Why you changed that, I fail to understand. Just leave the system and don’t make unnecessary changes. And in this NCA/National Coaching Centre, there has not been a single camp.”
