Pak chief selector quits after Australia loss
KARACHI: The chief selector of Pakistan’s national cricket team resigned on Sunday after their defeat in a one-day series against Australia, saying he was disappointed with the team’s performance.
Iqbal Qasim announced his resignation soon after Pakistan’s 5-0 defeat on Sunday in the one-day series against Australia in Perth.
“I am very disappointed, like millions of Pakistanis, over the manner in which the Pakistan team lost the Test series 3-0 and one day series 5-0,” Qasim told French news agency.
“As I am responsible for the selection of the team, I quit from my post.”
Pakistan won the World Twenty20 last year but have since suffered a number of defeats. The Pakistan Cricket Board has said it will appoint a new captain to replace current skipper Mohammad Yousuf after the Australia tour.
