New Talent in Pakistan Cricket Team – Who Will Groom Them?


PCB has announced team for the Tour of West Indies 2011. Some senior players have been dropped and new talent has been inducted. The induction of new talent is good step. Now these new players have to be groomed by the seniors, but unfortunately there is no senior like Javed Miadad and Imran Khan in the current team who can aware them regarding importance of  singles and doubles. Younis Khan has been dropped and Misbah has no potential to groom this talent. Asad Shafiq and Umer Akmal are young and they required grooming themselves.  So, this is huge disadvantage for this young talent. Kamran Akmal has been also dropped because of his bad wicket keeping, no one can support him as wicketkeeper, but he was the only batsman who was able to play drives like Saeed Anwar and Inzamam. If PCB gave him a chance as batsman and released the pressure of wicket keeping from him he has the potential to become a useful part of batting line.
Now, how can PCB meet the problem of grooming the new talent? Only an enthusiastic coach can dot it off the field. Therefore, an enthusiastic coach is required. Although Javed Miadad is legend, but he is aged and had been unsuccessful in making his relationship with the players in past, therefore, PCB should think for some one else. Saeed Anwer and Basit Ali can perform the duties. Both were attacking players and were gifted to adjust themselves with situation occasionally as well.
So PCB should take bold step for appointment of one of them as coach quickly for the upcoming tour of West Indies.
