Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has said that the future of Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan will be decided by the NCCIA authorities.
Talking to the media on the occasion of his visit to the National Cricket Academy Lahore, the PCB Chairman took the stand that he is satisfied with all the decisions taken for the betterment of cricket, my team is doing well, I have confidence in them and the strategy that has been made will be continued.
Mohsin Naqvi said that no changes are being made in the selection committee, I will accept whatever decisions are made.
He clarified that the credit for the design of the master plan of the academy goes to Aqib Javed, who prepared it together with the designing team.
The PCB Chairman said that the deadline for the upgrade of the academy is January 31 and it will be a complete state-of-the-art academy where all kinds of training facilities will be available.
Mohsin Naqvi said that the world’s most advanced machinery is being ordered for the modern biomechanics lab. This lab will collect scientific data on the techniques, movements and shortcomings of not only national players but also U-15, U-17 and U-19 players so that they can be corrected in a timely manner.
He said that special training camps of 3 to 6 months duration are being organized for young players at the National Cricket Academy. The aim of these camps is not only fitness but also to remove the basic technical shortcomings of the players so that when they come to the national squad, they get the opportunity to perform directly instead of learning the basics.
Mohsin Naqvi said that franchises were sold at record prices last year. The feasibility of any business already includes the possibility of difficulties during the first two to three years, so it should not be considered a crisis.
He said that if any franchise owner wants to sell his team at a profit in the future, the PCB will welcome it. Whatever final decision will be taken regarding the PSL, it will be informed in a timely manner.
The PCB chairman reaffirmed the policy of giving opportunities to young players at all levels, including Test matches.
He said that work is underway on central contracts, which will be announced soon. Imam-ul-Haq and Mohammad Rizwan will be summoned by the NCCIA authorities in a few days, and they will decide about their future.
