‘Didn’t perform well’ Wasim on Faheem’s exclusion from central contract

KARACHI: Pakistan Men’s Cricket Team Chief Selector Mohammad Wasim opened up for the first time on fast bowling all-rounder Faheem Ashraf’s exclusion from the recently announced Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Central Contracts 2022-23.

Fast bowling all-rounder Faheem, who is considered an integral part of Pakistan’s red-ball side and a consistent member in the squads of the team’s recent fixtures, remained unable to find himself in the list of players named in the recently-revealed central contracts.

In response to the host’s question about Faheem’s exclusion from the PCB Central Contracts on ARY News’ Sports Room (Eid Special), Wasim asserted that the all-rounder was not selected in the contract due to his below-par performance over the previous 12-month period, however, claimed that he is still part of the team’s future plans.

“Playing for the team does not guarantee a player’s inclusion in the central contracts. The criteria are straightforward, and they include performance over the previous 12 months, our plans for the next 12 months, and the role in the team, as well as the automatic selection,” Wasim responded.

“It further includes some other factors like commitment, fitness, and the extent of participation in the domestic circuit,” he maintained.

The chief selector then clarified that Faheem’s exclusion from the central contracts does not rule him out of the team’s future plans.

“Nobody said that Faheem isn’t a part of our future plans. The biggest proof of this is that he is accompanying the team on their tour to Sri Lanka,” Wasim stated.

“It is important to note that it is not the case that we will never choose a player who is not a part of the central contracts; rather, this is a common practice all over the world. Many players who are not covered by the contracts represent their teams,” he stressed.

On being asked about left-handed opener Imam-ul-Haq, who was awarded the Category B in white-ball cricket despite being ranked second in the latest ICC ODI batting rankings, Wasim claimed that the policy does not permit double promotion.

“No doubt, Imam’s performance has been improved a lot. He was in Category C in the last year’s contracts, so he got promoted. He made runs in domestic cricket and got introduced in the red-ball side, and performed well so he did get promoted,” Wasim stated.

“Double promotion, however, is not the criteria, which means a player can not be promoted by two categories. Then again I would say how many match-winning performances a player has produced is the key,” he concluded.

‘Don’t know why Sarfaraz is tolerating such attitude by PCB’ Tanvir Ahmed

KARACHI: Former Test cricketer Tanvir Ahmed, known for his blunt remarks, lambasted the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for their attitude towards the former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed following the recently-announced Central Contracts 2022-23.

Tanvir, in a video statement post his meeting with PCB Chairman Ramiz Raja questioned Sarfaraz’s inclusion into the D Category of the Central Contracts and expressed his reservations on the attitude of the cricket board towards the former captain.

“I don’t understand why Sarfaraz is silent,” questioned Tanvir. “A captain who has won the Champions Trophy. A player who has several achievements, I don’t why he is tolerating such an attitude from PCB,” he said.

“I would have told PCB what they truly deserved if I had won the Champions Trophy and had to deal with such an attitude. However, I believe that some players, despite their lack of respect, still want to be on the team,” he further opined.

The former pacer further criticized the PCB for offering left-handed batter Fawad Alam, B Category in the central contracts and termed it injustice with the southpaw.

“They have facilitated all of their friends in full capacity. Otherwise, Fawad should have been in the A category of red-ball format contracts. He only plays Test format and look at his performance, it’s injustice to give him the contract in the B category,” Tanvir stated.

Tanvir further opined on Ramiz’s meeting with the Karachi-based cricketers and called it meaningless as according to him, the latter’s position is uncertain.

“The meeting was meaningless,” Tanvir stated. “Chairman came to meet us at a time when things are already uncertain for him. But, I made the most of this opportunity and put Karachi’s cricket issues in front of him. I was very blunt and straight forward unlike others who were present in the meeting,” he shared.

The cricketer-turned-analyst further refuted the claims of him being offered a role in PCB by Ramiz in the meeting and claimed that he will never be a part of the cricket board.

“Whoever said this to you or spread it on social media, misquoted facts. In fact, Ramiz Bhai in general asked everybody in the meeting ‘will you be available if any post is offered to you in the PCB?'” Tanvir revealed.

“And, I was surprised to see the response. Even, 70-years-old former cricketers raised their hands to show interest in the job in PCB,” he added.

“But, I can assure you one thing, you will never see Tanvir Ahmed in any PCB post ever. Because, I know nobody allows you to work with honesty there,” he concluded.
