According to the Jang Urdu Newspaper, Chief Selector Wasim Bari has advised the experienced batsman and the vice-captain of the national cricket team to improve his running between the wickets because his current strategy is doing the team a lot of damage. In the Viedocon Final, Youhanna was responsible for the run-outs of Shoaib Malik and Shahid Afridi in successive deliveries and himself survied a couple of very close run-out calls. (not to forget abdul razzaq surviving a couple of close calls too)
The Head of the National Selection Committee has sent an e-mail to Bob Woolmer in which he strongly criticized Yousuf Youhanna’s running between the wickets and advised him to change his approach. Bob Woolmer will read out the e-mail in the next meeting of the national team.
Wasim Bari told the Jang Newspaper that earlier Yousuf Youhanna had been dismissed in the Asia Cup due to irresponsible running. He was dismissed by the Sri Lankan fileder at the silly point. He advised Youhanna to change his habit (of bad running).
The Chief Selector remarked that after a long time Pakistani bowling attack took up a professional approach. Inzamam-ul-Haq handled the team superbly. The captain should continue in this good example.
Wasim Bari will head to London of Friday where besides meeting Bob Woolmer and the national team players, he will also monitor the ICC Champions Trophy.
