PCB names panel to interview coaching staff

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Wednesday formed a five-member panel, having two independent and three own officials, to interview the candidates for the roles of national side’s coaching staff.

The panel includes former Test captain Intikhab Alam — who had previously been the man­ager-cum coach of Pakistan team, which won the World Cup-1992 and the manager of national side that won the World Twenty20 in 2009.

The others in the panel are former Test batsman Bazid Khan — son of ex-Pakistan captain Majid Khan who is now a respected cricket commentators — PCB governing board member Asad Ali Khan, PCB chief executive Wasim Khan and Zakir Khan, the PCB director — International Cricket.

“The interviews for the role of head coach and bowling coach will be carried out on Thursday after which the panel will send its recommendations to PCB chairman Mr Ehsan Mani,” a PCB media press release stated on Wednesday. “The interviews for the batting and strength and conditioning coaches will be conducted after the position of the head coach is filled.

“To maintain confidentiality, the PCB will not release the names of the candidates, who will appear in the interview process,” the media release concluded.

The seats fell vacant after the previous team management headed by Mickey Arthur failed to get extension in their three year tenure after the recent World Cup, in which Pakistan could not qualify for the semi-final on net-run rate.

Trump says he urged team to ‘slow’ COVID-19 testing

US President Donald Trump said Saturday he was encouraging health officials in his administration to slow down coronavirus testing, arguing that increased tests lead to more cases being discovered. The president has claimed falsely on several occasions that surges of COVID-19 in several states can be explained by greater numbers of diagnostic tests. At his first rally since the outbreak forced nationwide shutdowns in March, Trump told the crowd in Tulsa, Oklahoma that testing was a “double-edged sword.” The United States — which has more deaths and cases than any other country — has carried out more than 25 million coronavirus tests, placing it outside the top 20 countries in the world, per capita. “Here is the bad part: When you do testing to that extent, you are going to find more people, you will find more cases,” Trump argued. “So I said to my people ‘slow the testing down.’ They test and they test.” It was not clear from Trump’s tone if he was playing to the crowd, who ...

Despite reservations about jury, Pakistan to implement FATF reforms: envoy

WASHINGTON: Despite its reservations about the fairness of the jury which is to determine Pakistan’s performance against terror financing, the government is committed to implementing its action plan for dealing with this issue, says Islamabad’s Washington envoy Asad Majeed Khan. In a conversation with a prominent US scholar George Perkovich, recorded at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington on Monday afternoon, Ambassador Khan said the actions that Pakistan had taken so far to eliminate terror financing were “reflective of the political will”. “We feel that we have done a lot. We are also clear and determined to do more,” said the envoy while responding to a question about a meeting of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) held in Orlando last week, which asked Pakistan to implement its own action plan for eliminating terror financing by October. Failing to do so could put Pakistan on a blacklist of violators and bring strict economic sanctions too. “But we w...
