KARACHI: Former Pakistan captain Moin Khan has said that he does not want to hold a position in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as his son Azam Khan is now playing.
“It doesn’t seem appropriate for me to take the position now that Azam is playing,” said Moin, who held his first position on board cricket in 2013.
Despite not accepting these roles, Moin assured his continued commitment to the sport. “I am always available for Pakistan cricket,” he stressed.
Addressing rumors of potential future roles, he said: “I will talk about it after Waqar Younis’ announcement.”
Moin Khan also highlighted the issues within the PCB and noted that the board is currently waiting for a doctor to join before proceeding with the necessary operations. “The surgery will only happen after the doctor joins the PCB,” he explained.
Commenting on the recent preparations for the World Cup, Moin Khan noted, “The preparation for the World Cup was obvious to everyone.” However, he expressed disappointment with the team’s performance, stating, “As a former captain and cricketer, I was also disappointed with the performance of the cricket team.”
“There was no visible planning in the cricket team. There is a system by which players come and go. When the system goes wrong, there are problems.
“We should be supporting new players, but we are starting to discuss based on one performance,” he said. He also called for a respectful farewell to the players, similar to what was done in India. “Players in Pakistan should bid a respectful farewell like in India,” he suggested.
Addressing team dynamics, Moin warned against leaking internal information. “When information is leaked from within the team, it will be discussed around the world. Conversations from the dressing room, whether from the coach or the captain, should not be leaked,” he advised.
Looking ahead, Moin Khan expressed hope for India’s participation in international tournaments. “India is a big team and should participate in the Champions Trophy. It would be unfair if India does not make it to the Champions Trophy after the Asia Cup.”
