Shoaib Malik got wedding gift from PCB in shape of a ban lift from PCB's arranged appellate tribunal
Right now when I am writing this, 11.16 AM Pakistan Standard Time, its been a breaking news in news circuits in Pakistan that former skipper Pakistan Cricket Team Shoaib Malik, on whom PCB imposed ban due to misconduct and creating anarchy in the team, during the disastrous Aussie tour 2009-2010, have been uplifted by the PCB arranged 1 member appellate tribunal. Some saying its a wedding gift to Shoaib Malik from PCB, and this gift is worth mentioning compared to those which he got on his wedding day. I personally don't like him that much and those who call him as termite are quite justified as he was responsible for having a complete Star Plus show in Pakistan Cricket Team, resulting in disunity.
Even in the video, which was leaked earlier on a Private Sports Channel in Pakistan, show a member of the six-member committee using the word ‘termite’ for Malik after being told by some of the fellow cricketers and coaches Intikhab Alam and Aqib Javed that the former captain was the only person to be blamed for the lack of team spirit in the team.
After such background of a certain player, how can such player can have his ban uplifted? On a personal note I have reservations on the proceedings of this so called appellate tribunal hearing and doubt its hearing. Some channels even criticizing that Justice Irfan Qadir, who is taking their [banned players] hearings, is Samdhi to Mr. Ijaz Butt, clearly violating the basic rules of modern management.
The more justified ban uplift was of Younis Khan who's still having his hearing to be done. I personally feel he was the victim, flashing back to the time when Kiwis played ODI series against Pakistan in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, since than this whole Star Plus started. Even on the leaked video, one can easily understand that it was Shoaib Malik who blamed Younis Khan for captaincy take-over from him [Shoaib Malik], and disunity started from here, and like a termite plotted his plans, getting several players on his side, took oath on Holy Quran, against Younis Khan thanks to whole hearted support from our current team Manager Mr. Yawar Saeed, who himself has been a controversial character in Pakistan Cricket and has been a childhood friend to our beloved Mr. BUTT HEAD a.k.a. Ijaz Butt, another clear violation of modern management. I narrate my personal experience at a time when I was doing internship at another branch of the same bank my father works as internal auditor, and at that time my father had to visit my branch for auditing purposes, but he didn't came as I was in that branch, instead he being the Manager - Internal Audit, sent his colleagues to the branch. Ok. Should I give example from a cricketing point-of-view, in 2003 Mr. Tauqir Zia the former chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board just resigned because his own son had to play in the domestic and for Pakistan, even in his later interviews he clearly mentioned that he didn't wanted people to raise fingers that he utilized his power and seat to inject his son into the team.
Similarly, Shoaib Malik is also having some political and powerful support that's why after having violated the PCB's terms, he's still being injected into the team and being called as the need of the time when team is touring to a tough English summer series. Complete bull-shit, there are several other players, know not as much experience but it can be overcome by giving some chances.
