Pakistan cricket never fails to offer an ample serving of controversy and disappointment on a regular basis. It is this trait, which is why on the field, we are considered an unpredictable side, able to play as abysmally as a street cricket team at an international level on one occasion and a seasoned well-balanced, talented team on another. The abrupt resignations of head coach Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach Waqar Younis, shortly after the announcement of the squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup displays a similar sort of uncertainty off the field as well. As with any controversial episode in Pakistan cricket, the details take time to come out and are slim, but much earlier than that it becomes apparent that it is very political. Pakistan faces a tough season of cricket in the coming months with two coaches gone and an incoming board chief whose appointment has largely displeased the cricketing fraternity and its various stakeholders.
