shirtThe Pakistani Domestic season for 2011-2012 came to an end with the Faysal Bank T20 Super Eights. The players, team management and the coaching staff are not worried about Bangladesh touring Pakistan or not, instead they have better plans. Yes the recently appointed foreign coach Mr. David Whatmore along with another foreigner Julian Fountain who is the fielding coach is working on the physical fitness of the national cricketers. The players undergo several physical tests and prove their fitness levels, and also to impress the foreign coaching think tank. Mr. David Whatmore and his fielding assistant have shown great dedication and sincerity towards coaching Pakistani cricketers, not only they mingled with the Pakistani national team, but they were also present on every single day at the Faysal Bank Super Eight T20 Tournament recently held in Rawalpindi. Their presence and keen observation on the proceedings certainly proved a great motivational factor for some of the Young as well as discarded players that played brilliantly in the tournament and showed that they are still hungry to play for Pakistan or to represent the country at the highest level. Among these players, top of the list was Ex Pakistan Captain and the controversial all rounder Shoaib Malik, who not only led his side Sialkot Stallions to another T20 title but was also influential in his team’s successful campaign. His all round show was a huge factor in Sialkot’s triumphant tournament. Malik scored 101 runs in 3 innings at an average of 50, and played a crucial innings of 62 in the final against Karachi Dolphins that took the game away for the Dolphins at just the half way stage. With the ball in his hand Malik was impressive too as He was the second highest wicket taker of the tournament grabbing 7 wickets at an impressive economy of fewer than 7.

Pakistan Cricket are risking being expelled by the International Cricket Council (ICC) in 2013 by not making the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) go democratic. The ICC have set a date for March 2013 for all cricket boards to follow their instructions for face a penalty; which can be expulsion from ICC affiliated nations. 

Pakistan President, Asif Ali Zardari; who is also the PCB cheif-in-patron rejected a proposal of how Pakistan cricket could go democratic. He believes how Pakistan run their internal cricket should be of no concern of the ICC. 

Recently only Sri Lanka and Bangladesh along with Pakistan were the only cricket boards that had a government member in charge of it; Sri Lanka has since taken steps to eradicate this problem. Bangladesh are also thought to be doing the same. Which leaves Pakistan alone fighting a lost cause. Looking at the whole scenario, it is bewildering why PCB are not following suit and solving the issue with ample time in hand. 

Just for easy understanding; at the moment the PCB is run by the government of Pakistan, with President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari being the person who appoints. The PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf was appointed by Zardari. The ICC wants all cricket boards to have a elected board members from where one gets elected to be chairman PCB. This stops any political interference. 

The ICC is not alone in following such a regime; Football's World governing body, FIFA also do the same.
