In retaliation, Geoff Lawson issued a statement a day later voicing his thoughts on the issue and that he will complete his full 2-year term (CricInfo).

I really don’t know what was the thought process behind Ejaz But’s publicly raising an issue about this when most of what we have played against consists of lower-ranked teams and mean winning streaks. I see Geoff Lawson in the dressing room amongst the team in every match Pakistan has played. Bob Woolmer had a laptop and he used to get scathing remarks from Miandad and company (“laptop coach”). I don’t believe Lawson have performed any less so far.

What a way to humiliate a national coach, telling openly in the media that the coach will be pushed out after his term ends. Such a statement just demoralizes the team and it reflects on him as the PCB chairman. I don’t know what the basis was, behind Ejaz’s statement, to be honest. I see that the team did not perform well before the T20 cup but talking about removing someone from a high-profile position the first thing after accepting the new role as the chairman is not exactly a friendlier move.

True. I mean if he is not performing good, talk behind doors even fire him but if he is a coach give some respect to him. For heaven how will the other teams respect him if our own chief is not respecting him. I see Ejaz’s statement more than criticism, his statements are insulting ones.

If my boss tells me that once I am done with the project I am working on in couple of months, I’ll be fired, will he still expect me to work with “dil-o-jaan” in next couple of months?
