Moin Khan ordered back from Australia
229
Pakistan's embattled chief selector Moin Khan, under investigation by the cricket board for visiting a casino in New Zealand, has been immediatedly summoned back to the country by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to clarify his position.
The PCB launched an official investigation into reports that Moin visited a casino shortly before the team's calamitous World Cup defeat to the West Indies.
“There are widespread allegations into the conduct of the chief selector having brought the image of Pakistan and PCB into disrepute,” the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement on Tuesday.
PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan spoke with the chief selector and other members of team management by telephone on Tuesday, before ordering Moin to return home.
“He's (Moin) been recalled immediately so that he can explain his position himself, and by which time we will also have a full picture,” Shaharyar said in Lahore.
Shaharyar said Moin acknowledged he went to the casino with his wife, and had dinner with their friend.
 |
“When I told Moin there are lots of allegations against you, and even members of the Upper House discussed it in parliament today, he told me that all the accusations are wrong,” Shaharyar said.
“He was also disappointed. But he told me he went there to have dinner, and didn't do anything else.”

Manager Naveed Akram Cheema will take over as chief selector of the tour selection committee, including coach Waqar Younis and captain Misbah-ul-Haq.
It emerged today that ex-chairman Najam Sethi, who is now a member of the governing board, had thrown his weight behind the former wicketkeeper, while current chief Shaharyar Khan was strictly in favour of ordering Moin back to Pakistan.
Pakistan has lost its two pool games against India and the West Indies, and next plays on Sunday against Zimbabwe. Just before the start of the World Cup, there were reports that eight Pakistan players were fined for breaching a team curfew.

I think it is purely a private matter of Moin Khan and it is nothing to do with TEAM Performance in the field. He is in World Cup in a capacity of Selector but not part of tour selection committee. Same like Zakir Khan who is on joy trip as board member. The curfew hours only applies on players....

Is it a stated PCB/ICC policy that officials/players not visit a casino while abroad, otherwise which rule has he broken? Granted it doesn't look good for the team but why does PCB need to react to every little bit of news coming from the media? If he's brought back it would just be a token gesture, and I don't think Sethi will let it happen since he's in Moin's corner.

Putting fine on late arrival to hotel and questioning why someone went to casino is not the way a professional team should be handled in a world premier tournament.
Its just like when your child does something wrong; you don't start scolding your child in front of everyone at every place. I do hope common sense will prevail and PCB will learn how to handle such situations.

Moin Khan did not go to Australia/New Zealand in a personal capacity but as a chief selector of PCB.
His activities after 9 to 5 hours is PCB's business and by extension Pakistan's business.
Sitting on a VIP table in a casino where only high rollers are let in raises a lot of red flags. Furthermore a person backed by Sethi whose corrupt to the core should be a matter of concern.
Let's hope this filth is removed once and for all after the world cup. Let's just start out by implementing Justice Qayyum report for God sake. Be honest with ourselves.

The cricket players of Pakistan have been misbehaving for a very long time. Actually since Kardar. His favorites like Fazal Mahmood and Kardar himself used to go out to eat with lady friends, eat heavy meals with hard liquors. While the other team members with good managements eat light meals ordered by the management with simple mineral water. The legacy of Kardar has been maintained and as of today the players go out of control as soon the board the aircraft. Time has come to eliminate the selection process and managing the entire system. No more hiring of cousins and home town boys, please.

It is typical in Europe and US, people go to casinos for lunch and dinner, but it doesn’t mean they are there for gambling. Usually the food is cheap and it is available in many varieties. So, it is an obvious choice sometimes if you want to be within budget and still want decent food

I think he has enough money to travel all over the world every year at his own expense but he felt the opportunity is there to travel on nations money and he grabbed immediately. We need honest and competent people in PCB to bring respect to Pakistan cricket. How & when it will happen,, not sure,,

I guess we are looking for a scapegoat. If Moin Khan went to the Casino at his own time that did not impact the team schedule and practice then I do not see anything wrong with it. He is not the team manager, or coach and he is expected to stay away from the players anyway. How realistic it is for us to expect the team members to either stay in the hotel or go to the ground for practice only. Everyone needs a break to rest and relax and it was probably Moin Khan's way to get away from the pressure situation. Since when are we appointed to judge everyone? We should not be nitpicking so much. We can criticize Moin Khan for selecting a lousy team as chief selector but jumping all over him for going to the casino. We are stretching it, folks.

India and West Indies are not mickey mouse teams. Don't blame the players and couches or anyone else. Pakistani team is trying its best.

What a hypocrate nation we are....Who cares what he does with his money! My suggestion to people who have problem with him being in Casino, if you are so worried, why dont you take care of other more serious issues affecting all Pakistanis.
Most Pakistanis overment employees that i know who ever go overseas, do all sort of the same activities that they are scream about when someone else does!

I think, instead of criticising Pakistani team, we should support the team and think positive.

If Moin went to Casino after his working hours for a dinner or to look around and had no intentions of gambling then there is no reason to exploit the way it was done. We have to be open minded. If it is considered crime then a replacement should have sent to properly take over/handover responsibilities. All this could have done at low profile without embarrassing Pakistan in the whole world. How can team perform on Saturday keeping this incident in their mind.

@Ash you live in a cave dude. Sounds like if you were in charge all and everything is game providing no one finds out. What a joke. The fact is for whatever reason the Pak team keep letting the supporters down time after time and it is not acceptable. Dangerous to give keyboard to some people like you.

@aLI ... and what about the men in the photo with Moin Khan?? If going to a Casino is against Muslim beliefs, why aren't those other men being as harshly dealt with, or is it only acceptable to target and punish men who have devoted their lives to Pakistan and cricket!! Double standards don't you think!
