Finally, we are out of the World Cup race, a race we weren’t
prepared for, a race we have been preparing for the last four years. What went
wrong and what were the findings are discussed widely by cricket commentators
and lovers alike. Muhammad Yousuf even suggested to fire all the batting line
and never ever bring them again in the Pakistani Team.
We are bursting on those people who have little control over
the issue. The players did their best, that’s all they were capable of. The
selection committee in the same way, did their best. The cycle won’t improve
unless there is a grave effort in revamping the management process of the
Pakistan Cricket Board. Pakistani cricketers are ‘thinking’ of playing with a
strategy that is two decades old. Times have change and they need to change the
way they play their cricket. But then again, a strategy is when someone
actually has a plan, according to Amir Sohail, a veteran cricketer Pakistani Cricketers
never played with a Strategy. They just focus on some players to perform outstandingly,
if that clicks they think their strategy worked. These are all important issues
but the main issue is not of operations rather a strategic change is needed.
Things won’t improve unless politics is tied-up with the
cricket. When Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Nationalized the industries in Pakistan, he
was not expecting that the Ministries would be handed over the control of their
operations. Like most of the civilized world there are proper systems to govern
the nationalized industries. One of the system which is in practice is to have
a Board comprising of a mixture of Public and Private representatives from
different walks of life, be it Philanthropist, Industry Practitioners, Ministry
representatives, Judges, Entrepreneurs and people even from the organization
itself, they make all the major decision including who will lead the
organization. This system is in practice by many successful government organizations
of Pakistan, one of them is the leading educational institution of the country,
IBA Karachi.
People of IBA are not hired from outside the country, they
represent ordinary Pakistanis. What is different is the Governance structure.
This same kind of system should be made for other organization of Pakistan, PCB
should be the first one to have such kind of transition. Hopefully, we won’t
see Ijaz Bhatt and Najam Sethi type of people that are just aristocrat, who are
hugely flawed in the way they lead their organization.
