#RamizRaja Believes That The Exit Of #GaryKirsten Is “Not Great News”
Cricinfo reported Raja as saying, “When you search for international coaches, with the kind of backlash that you will probably get from Gary Kirsten’s resignation…it’s not going to be an easy, straightforward job for Pakistan to hire international talent. What you need to do is to make sure that once you involve and engage somebody, you’ve got to give them clarity regarding the role. I don’t know whether that clarity was given to Gary Kirsten or how he wanted to get Pakistan into this one-day phase, what he wanted to achieve. I’m not privy to that. It’s not great news [Kirsten’s departure] because Pakistan needed an experienced hand. From a distance, it doesn’t look great just before a tour.”

While talking about Rizwan’s rise to captaincy, Raja further said, “He’s got his chance and what he needs to do is to stamp his authority and maybe get the players that he wants. Right now, there’s a little bit of hodgepodge where the selection committee is nominating the playing XI. I’m not too sure it happens anywhere else in the world. I just hope Rizwan gets his playing XI that he feels comfortable with.”
