PCB offers no fresh contract to selector Salim Jaffer
July 12th, 2010 - 1:19 pm ICT by ANIIslamabad, July 12(ANI): Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) national selector Salim Jaffer appears to have fallen out of favour with the board, as he has not been offered any fresh contract to continue with his job.
The contracts of the selectors will expire on July 31.
According to reports, fresh offer letters have been sent to all of the selectors, except Jaffer.
The reason for the former fast bowler losing favour is believed to be the dispute over the way the national squad for the England tour was announced in Sri Lanka last month.
Jaffer has reportedly complained to the governing council of the board that chief selector Mohsin Hasan Khan, who flew to Sri Lanka to consult the team formation with PCB chief Ijaz Butt, captain Shahid Afridi and coach Waqar Younis, did not consult the other selectors before announcing the 17-member squad.
“Jaffer was upset over the way the board had sidelined Younus Khan and some other deserving players without assigning any valid reasons for a tough tour like England,” The Daily Times quoted a source, as saying.
“Now the selector is being charged with trying to fan a conspiracy against Mohsin who is presently in the good books of the PCB chief due to his ‘yes man’ qualities,” the source added.
However, when asked about the issue, Jaffer said: “I have spoken to one of the selectors and he has not got any offer letter. So, I don’t think letters have gone out as yet, but if I get an offer definitely I will accept it because to serve as a national selector is an honour for me.” (ANI)
