Like DNA, ZA also lack professionalism and wisdom; PCB need someone like Nur Khan.

Razzaq has been one of the most underrated senior player. I don

And all management to be fined Rs 100,000.00 each for dropping Razzak

Yes, so that he can become emboldened and make this a habit, correct?

Dear Manager Media I just read the news item about Mr. Abdul Razzaq whom PCB fined Rs.100,000 which is a heart burning news for me. First of all I tell you about myself before I ask few questions. I am, of course, proudly Pakistani presently performing my duties overseas. I don't have any friendship with Mr. Razzaq but just know him since long and had the opportunity personally to see once with Waseem Akram, Shoaib Malik and others in Canberra long ago when they were too young. But I do keep in touch with conspiracies in cricket, particularly at the management level as well, through the media - on which to what extent should we believe that whatever is being said is correct which is always seen with doubts. Can the executives of the board give answer to my few questions which are i- Am I right to say that Razzaq is quite tight lipped player ii- Has he ever spoke unnecessarily about team affairs iii- Am I right to say he is well disciplined since he played for Pakistan iv- Did anybody complained about his attitude being rude or proud v- Did he ever disobeyed anybody of managerial or captain level before vi- Everybody knows he is quiet player - is there anybody there to say NO vii- Is there any doubt about any inconsistency in his performance viii- Is there any complaint about his involvement of any type of scandal ix- How long one can keep his/her mouth shut when there rubbish type persons and stories are happened to be around making a gentleman's life miserable and put all life long loyality to the country on risk and give them such kind of reward in return to his wise advice based on true and fair analysis for the sake of national and sportsman's spirit. x- Can anybody in the Board say ON OATH that every selection and decision is made WTHOUT ANY CHIT SYSTEM I DO NOT NEED ANY TYPE OF RUBBISH REPLY TO ANY OF MY QUESTIONS AND I AM ALSO VERY CONFIDENT THAT YOU MR. MEDIA MANGER WOULD ALSO NOT BE ABLE TO PUT THESE QUESTIONS ON THE TABLE OF BOARD DURING ANY FULL BENCH MEETING. SO GIVE PUNISHMENT TO RAZZAQ BECAUSE HE NEVER INDULGED HIMSELF IN ANY TYPE OF CONSPIRACY UNLESS AND UNTIL THERE IS QUESTION OF TEAM'S RESPECT AND COUNTRY'S HONOUR AND GIVING BAD NAME IN RETURN OF HUGE SUMS OF HARD EARNED MONEY OF OUR LABOURERS AS WELL. IF YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING FOR THE BETTERMENT AT LEAST FEEL ASHAMED WHEN SOMETHING HAPPNED TO ANY FAIR PERSON FORGET ABOUT CRICKETERS TO WHOM WE ALL KNOW VERY WELL EVEN THEIR BACKGROUND AND APPROACHES BEHIND THEIR SELECTIONS. ALLAH HAFIZ WELL WISHER WITH HEART BURNING MUHAMMAD ARSHAD

This mess seems to stay unresolved for long. Saqlain, Azhar Mahmood, Yousuf, Razzak and many more have been ignored. Doesnt matter now if its Zaka Ashraf or Ijaz Butt, they all work for themselves. PCB is highly corrupt just like our government. There is a very strong lobby in PCB which works against the interest of nation and Pakistani cricket fans. They have made their bank balances and sold our glory which was earned over the years from competing against long established power houses. Good luck Pakistan cricket, now all you have is the leadership of a tape ball cricketer and a board made up of cons who include politicians and ex-cricketers.

than u are quite unaware about cricket world

We must be sitting in different mood today if Razzaq was included.

It is okay to discipline the player, but it should NOT be used against him for the selection. Still there is no justification for him not included the team. There is a problem within the management. Someone needs to discipline them fine them or fire them.

and with no good reason. But there was a reason Razzak did not have a letter from high ups.

OK.... But can the board inform us why Razzak was dropped and Afridi included and we lost the semi final bec. of Afridi's duck.

I had written a detailed letter to Media Manager of the team and posted as my comments on the news items

All is well that ends well!

He should have been spared given the kind of decent record as a player and an individual the guy holds.. Razak is one of the very few in the team with no attitude problems..

Razzaq Bhai it's time to pay the bill.

His expertise and talent in cricket aside, Razzaq is known to be humble and honest person. His name has never been associated with any controversy. His outburst against hafeez was not with out substance but by voicing it publically he voliated the code of conduct. However to err is human and Razzaq has admitted his fault.

Talha you are 100% right; all institutions are on the decline except judiciary and military. Corruption and mismanagement are rampant; there is no cure. Everyone on top positions busy in making money and purchasing assets for future generations......

Similar criticism have happened before. Obviously the fines are not big enough hence, repetitions. Further PCB should inform Razzak that he is no more a candidate for the national team.

Razzak proved as chicken hearted person; with only show cause notice he went on the back foot to save his job and valuable contract with PCB otherwise he will have to sell Potatoes and other Veg in Shahdara. He should have taken a stand and stick to it no matter even heavens falls.

Basically it is a lesson for Pak cricketers to not speak the truth and not complain when things go wrong in the team. The PCB is trying to establish draconian culture in the team so that it can contine to play their "games" with Pak-cricket and fans. Poor Razzaq has been shoved into submission. A very sad day for Pakistan cricket indeed :(
