Former Pakistan legend Moin Khan has stated that he does not wish to take up a position in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) due to his son, Azam Khan, being an active player. “It doesn’t seem appropriate for me to take a position now that Azam is playing,” Moin explained. Moin, who first held a position on the cricket board in 2013, emphasized his ongoing dedication to the sport despite not taking on official roles. “I am always available for Pakistan cricket,” he asserted.
Addressing rumors about potential future roles in the PCB, Moin Khan said, “I will talk about it after Waqar Younis’s announcement.” He also highlighted existing issues within the PCB, mentioning that the board is awaiting a doctor’s appointment before proceeding with necessary surgeries. “Surgery will only happen after a doctor joins PCB,” he clarified.
Reflecting on the recent World Cup preparations, Moin commented, “The World Cup preparations were evident to everyone.” However, he expressed disappointment with the team’s performance, stating, “As a former captain and cricketer, I was also disappointed with the cricket team’s performance. There was no visible planning in the cricket team. There is a system under which players come and go. When the system gets flawed, problems arise.”
Moin stressed the importance of supporting new players and called for a respectful farewell for retiring players, akin to practices in India. “We should support new players, but we start discussing based on one performance,” he said. “Players in Pakistan should be given a respectful farewell like in India,” he suggested.
He also warned against the dangers of leaking internal team information. “When information leaks from within the team, it gets discussed worldwide. Conversations from the dressing room, whether from the coach or the captain, should not be leaked,” he advised.
Looking forward, Moin expressed hope for India’s participation in international tournaments. “India is a big team, and they should participate in the Champions Trophy. It would be unfair if India does not come to the Champions Trophy after the Asia Cup,” he remarked.
