"Never complained against any player"

"Never complained against any player"

Manager of Pakistan team in New Zealand and Australia, Abdul Raquib claimed that he never made any complaint against any player.

Raquib said he never made any complains to the inquiry committee formed to probe the poor performance of the team and reports of infighting on the tours.

"I never reported Shoaib Malik, Mohammad Yousuf, Younus Khan, Rana Naved, Kamran Akmal for any disciplinary issue in my tour report," Raquib said on a cricket show on Geo Super channel.

"I don't know on what basis the board has taken such strong action against these players but it seems to me that the board is perhaps settling personal scores or simply taking out their frustration on these players," he said.

Former first class cricketer, Raquib said he had only mentioned in his tour report an incident where he fined Umar Akmal for giving an unauthorised interview.

"I also mentioned in my report that I felt that Mohammad Yousuf on the tour had been a very defensive captain at times and that affected performance of the team at crucial times," he said.

Raquib said he never lodged any complaint against any other player in his report.

"I fail to understand why Younus Khan has been banned because he was not part of the team for better part of the twin-tour. Younus has been the victim of controversies and intrigues and I don't know why they banned him," Raquib said.
