"I do not want to give excuses and as Chairman I accept full responsibility. I admit there were faults," Shaharyar told the Senate Standing Committee on Sports, which is looking into the reasons for the home team's defeat in the historic series against India last month. Shaharyar also told the Committee during a marathon meeting yesterday that he would see if the services of coach Javed Miandad were required and termed Inzamam as a decent man but not an inspiring leader, according to a report in local daily 'Dawn'. He outlined three reasons for Pakistan's first series defeat to India at home. "The Indians played to their true potential while our strong point which was bowling let us down and our team was found to be lacking in unity and national spirit, especially in the Tests." But the Chairman insisted that the defeat was not a disaster. "We lost narrowly; however we have reviewed our cricketing failures and the PCB advisory council will analyse these further." in-depth coverage > India-Pakistan Cricket Series 2004 > |
