PCB should give long term assurance to coaches – Mushtaq Ahmed
Former Pakistani player Mushtaq Ahmed says that when people see that during a tour, people are removed from the team without any concrete reason. If people do not respect you and fire you because of some decisions, then your trust is broken. According to Mushtaq, if PCB improves its attitude and gives long-term confidence to the coaches, then many former Pakistani players will be ready to join the team.
