Why did PCB not penalise the cricketers for the abject surrenders in the South African tour and during the Champions Trophy?
Mr. PM kindly order inquiry that why PCB is paying Eid bonus to the most undeserving cricket players under most difficult and weak PCB financial situation.
This Eidi decision of PCB Chairman to dish out millions of Rupees to our most undeserving team members, may be a contempt of the IHC decision, wherein, chairman PCB is only allowed to function the day to day affairs of the PCB.
No justification after the debacle of champions trophy and ignominy of South African tour, where our team even got out for 49 runs in a Test match innings.
Beating West Indies was not such an achievement which was the second last team of the CT in UK and last team in WI, in the triangular tournament with India and Srilanka.
Even Indian team did not get any such cash award or bonus on winning CT in England and Triangular tournament in West indies.
Moreover, did we impose any penalty on our players when they abjectly surrendered in South Africa and in the Champion’s Trophy played in England, without even putting up a decent fight? Remember in the CT our team performed worst ever in the history of the CT tournament and was ranked at the last (8th) position.
PCB and the players must know that board is in a very difficult financial condition, wherein, it has been reported that PCB cash reserves have fallen down from Rs.8 billion to just Rs.2 billion.
PCB and players also must know that many international cricket boards are paying much less to their players, than what our board is paying to the Pakistani cricketers. Even in Pakistan no sports organisation is paying so lavishly to their players, compared to what PCB pays to its employees, officials and players.
In Zimbabwe, their cricket board refuses to pay for the players hotel breakfast and meals, but still their players are just playing for the sake of the nation.
As such, the PCB management is requested to immediately withdraw the Eidi cash gift notification to the players, which is absolutely a undeserving and wasteful expenditure and without any justification.
PCB has no right to play wastefully with the public money.
Moreover, as per the IHC decision, the chairman PCB can decide only the day to day affairs. Hence, this Eidi gift apparently looks a violation of the court orders and also may be construed as a contempt of the IHC court orders.
