Re: PCB tamasha - PCB plans action against Afridi -
Absolutely wrong. Cricket is different from every other sport. It is captain who wins the matches and it is captain who leads the team. Everyone says that Pakistan won the worldcup because of Imran’s leadership, while no one even remembers who the coach was.
This is what Imran said on this spat between captain and coach:

“A coach’s role is subservient to captain. Cricket is the only game where the captain’s role superior and no coach can take the lead. The PCB should have defined the roles of the captain and the coach,” said Khan.
“Look at India where captain (Mahendra Singh) Dhoni is the man in charge. Ricky Ponting used to take the lead in the Australian team and the coach sits behind the scenes. It’s quite clear.”
