Speaking to media officials in Lahore, Aaqib Javed stated that even a school cricket team would not appoint Misbah-ul-Haq as its head coach.

The fast bowler, who was a member of Pakistan’s World Cup-winning side in 1992, criticized the people who selected Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis for the national teams’ coaching roles. He said:

The current head coach of Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Lahore Qalandars, Aaqib Javed dismissed the idea that he wishes to join Pakistan Cricket’s coaching set-up.

He clarified that he would never coach the national side because of a lack of respect for individuals in the current system.

Aaqib Javed also castigated the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) management for not taking effective steps for the betterment of cricket in Pakistan.

The Pakistan team management, especially Misbah-ul-Haq, is currently feeling the heat after the side’s underwhelming performance in the second Test against New Zealand thus far.

The touring party conceded 659 runs in the first innings and are behind by 354 runs with two days’ play yet to take place.
