‘PCB not happy with Inzamam’
LONDON, Oct 9: Sacked team manager Zaheer Abbas claims regular captain Inzamam-ul-Haq has lost the confidence of officials in Pakistan cricket following the Oval debacle.
Zaheer told BBC Radio Five Live that the refusal to play on the fourth day of the Test was Inzamam's own choice.
He said: “Pakistan's management is not happy with Inzamam at the moment.
“I requested him to go into the field at The Oval, chairman Shaharyar Khan requested also, and a few members of the cricket team, but he refused.”
On the separate issue of Inzamam's actions at The Oval on Aug 20, Zaheer said: “After having protested we should have gone into the field and started playing.
“But Inzamam said to me 'I don't want to go in the field; if the boys want to go in the field then they can'.
“We know the captain didn't listen to us at that point in time. Loads of people were there waiting for us to go and show our ability to them and see us playing.”—Agencies
