Re: Nasim Ashraf resigns
I have a strong huntch that tauqeer zia might be coming back if resignation is accepted.
I hope thats not true and its just me thinking wildly....
Re: Nasim Ashraf resigns
It won't make one iota of a difference. Nasim Ashraf, though no favorite of mine, didn't drop one catch, bowl one loose delivery, or get bowled. It's the players, stupid.

Re: Nasim Ashraf resigns
The guy who 'fired' Waqar Younis (or accepted his resignation). What a bunch of losers. This is how we take ownership of a mighty loss? I say clean up PCB, yeh hi moqa hai.
Yes what a bunch of jokers from PCB down to many of the players. Ideal time to get rid of other jokers such as Saleem Altaf, Wasim Bari etc.............
Re: Nasim Ashraf resigns
Geo just said that like in the case of Gen Tauqir Zia it's highly likely that teh resignation offer of Doc will be turned down by Mushy
I hope not coz this was the only good news out of the rubble
Re: Nasim Ashraf resigns
Kets just hope for best that his resignation wil be accepted.

National selection committee tenders resignation
Cricinfo staff
March 20, 2007
The going is about to get a little tougher for Nasim Ashraf © AFP
Taking a lead from Nasim Ashraf, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, the national selection committee too has tendered its resignation. The resignation was formally submitted by Wasim Bari, the chairman of selectors, on behalf of the entire committee. Bari reportedly stated that the committee’s tenure was up to the World Cup and that it shared responsibility for Pakistan’s dismal performance.
Ashraf offered his resignation as chairman of the PCB, sources close to him have told Cricinfo. The source said that he handed in the resignation letter to the president of Pakistan, who is also the Patron of the PCB, late on Monday.
He added that the chairman had accepted his responsibility for the World Cup debacle. He had only been at the helm for five months, having taken over from Shaharyar Khan who resigned in October.
The chairman, the source continued, cited building pressure on him after Pakistan’s shock elimination from the tournament following a disastrous defeat to Ireland, a loss which has sparked outrage in the country. The loss resulted in Inzamam-ul-Haq’s retirement from ODIs and resignation from the Test captaincy.
The news adds yet another twist to what has become a ghastly few months for Pakistan and in particular a tragic few days, following the death of coach Bob Woolmer on Sunday.
Cricinfo was unable to make contact with any PCB officials, although the source added any final decision will only be confirmed on Tuesday.
Ashraf himself was uncontactable by phone.

Re: Nasim Ashraf resigns
And the Saga continues.
PCB Chief resigns, selection committee resigns…
Why did PCB chief and the selection committee resign? What’s up with all this drama of retirement and resignations during a world tournament? If they were so incapable of handling the job, then why the hell they even took charge? Morons!
oopss..sorry i didn’t see that other thread…
Re: Nasim Ashraf resigns
Come on people..he hasn't resigned..He was fired. He is a true Mush psychophant. Thats why he got the job in the first place. and I'll bet if lawyers weren't giving mush a real bad time right now, and making him unpopular, he wouldn't have fired him.
Ppl already want musharraf's head and this was done just to release some pressure.
People spend all their lives to find God, and all I, a gunahgar person, had to do was join Gupshup. DiloN ke bhaid aap hi jaante haiN bhagwan.

Re: Nasim Ashraf resigns
Chairman, selectors offer resignations
The fall-out from Pakistan’s shock defeat to Ireland and resulting elimination from the World Cup has now taken full toll with the news that Nasim Ashraf, the PCB chairman, has handed in his resignation, followed swiftly by the national selection committee.
Ashraf offered his resignation as chairman of the PCB first, a board spokesman confirmed to Cricinfo. “The chairman handed in his resignation on Monday evening, faxing it to the President of Pakistan (also Patron of the PCB).”
He added that the chairman had “accepted his responsibility for the World Cup debacle. Public reaction has been so strong after that that he decided to take this action. He always wanted to really begin his work after the World Cup.” Ashrad had only been at the helm for five months, having taken over from Shaharyar Khan who resigned in October.
The chairman, the official continued, cited building pressure on him after Pakistan’s shock elimination from the tournament following a disastrous defeat to Ireland, a loss which has sparked outrage in the country.
Though the resignation has yet to be confirmed, it is thought to be but a formality now. Ashraf hiimself is away in interior Sindh and is presently uncontactable by phone. “The status quo remains for now as far as the PCB is concerned,” added the official, when asked how the board was running without a chairman, a captain and a coach. “But changes will no doubt occur in the next few days and a new management will be brought in.”
Taking a lead from the chairman, the national selection committee too has tendered its resignation. The resignation was formally submitted by Wasim Bari, the chairman of selectors, on behalf of the entire committee. Bari reportedly stated that the committee’s tenure was up to the World Cup and that it shared responsibility for Pakistan’s dismal performance.
** With Inzamam-ul-Haq stepping down as captain and retiring from ODIs and the tragic death of coach Bob Woolmer, it means, within three days, Pakistan cricket’s top heirarchy has been completely swept aside. Culls and purges don’t come much cleaner and as Pakistan’s World Cup campaign ends on March 21, yet another new era for Pakistan cricket will no doubt begin the same day.**
