ICC World Cup 2023: Inzamam-ul-Haq Skips PCB Review Meeting As He Wasn't Happy With The Move - Reports

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) convened a special meeting on Thursday to discuss the team’s preparations for the upcoming ICC World Cup 2023. Former Pakistan captain and chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq was notably absent from a review meeting held by the PCB.

The review meeting was held in the presence of PCB management committee Zaka Ashraf, captain Babar Azam, head coach Grant Bradburn, Chief Operating Officer Salman Nasser, Head of International Cricket Usman Wahla, and former skipper Misbah ul Haq.

Inzamam-ul-Haq was part of a high-profile Cricket Technical Committee (CTC), which will be headed by Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq. Inzamam skipping the meeting raised several eyebrows, and Mohammad Hafeez’s resignation added fuel to the fire.

Inzamam-ul-Haq Didn’t Agree With The Move – Reports

According to PTI, Inzamam-ul-Haq chose to skip the meeting because he disagreed with the decision to hold a review meeting at this time. He felt that the team should be encouraged and supported rather than facing an inquiry that showed a lack of trust in their abilities.

“Inzamam is a very strong headed person and he didn’t agree with the move by Chairman Zaka Ashraf to call such a review meeting and make Babar and Bradburn face uncomfortable questions by Misbah, Hafeez and other board officials,” the source said.

“Inzamam having been a former captain and top cricketer himself, made it clear he was not happy with the review process as this was the time to encourage and boost the team instead of putting them through an inquisition and showing distrust in their abilities.”
