Rameez may ‘review’ own performance
RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)
chief executive, Rameez Raja, is going to have a prominent seat when
a closed-door meeting reviews the team’s performance this season,
specially against India.
Once that is over, Rameez may decide to ‘review’ his own
performance…
“I’m not saying I’m quitting but, once this series gets over without
an incident (on Saturday), what else will be there for me to
achieve? I mean, we’ve added an unprecedented Rs 120 crore to our
balance... And, of course, bilateral cricket got revived...” he
said.
Speaking while tucking into the sumptuous spread at the PCB’s
farewell dinner for Waqar Younis, on Monday, Rameez added: “Despite
all this, one faces unwarranted criticism.... One does begin to
wonder whether enough is enough...”
The criticism often breaches the personal-line and gets nasty in
these parts. It’s not insignificant that, last week, captain
Inzamam-ul Haq and coach Javed Miandad felt it would be better to
quit than face an uncalled for assault from different quarters.
Rameez, hand-picked by the previous PCB chairman, Lt Gen. (retd)
Tauqir Zia, continued in office despite last December’s change of
guard only because President Pervez Musharraf — the PCB patron —
personally asked him to stay on.
Clearly, then, Rameez is unlikely to take an emotional decision.
But...
Incidentally, unlike other chief executives, Rameez doesn’t get paid
by the PCB. He insisted on this arrangement so that there would be
no ‘conflict’ with his Media commitments.
