ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (TheSportsNEXT) November 3, 2012: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) picked Saturday a 10-man delegation of former cricketing legends, who will represent Pakistan as goodwill ambassadors during tour of India in December.
The selected players include Hanif Mohammad, Imtiaz Ahmed, Majid Khan, Zaheer Abbas, Mushtaq Mohammad, Imran Khan, Javed Burki, Wasim Bari, Intikhab Alam and Sadiq Mohammad.
PCB selected players on the basis of their debuts in 50s, 60s, and 70s and said it would continue the process in the times to come.
The PCB issued a statement Saturday which explained the legends selection criteria. It stated, “These players will be goodwill ambassadors for Pakistan Cricket and can help in improving the cricketing relations between two countries”.
However, nothing good in Pakistan cricket comes without a controversy or blame-game. Some of the cricket journalists and former cricketers have criticized on their selection of legends which ignored legends like Asif Iqbal, Inzamam-ul-Haq, Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, Rashid Latif, Moin Khan, and Javed Miandad.
