As stakeholders anticipate the tournament, all eyes will be on how this managerial reshuffle influences team dynamics and overall performance, highlighting ongoing challenges in balancing administrative priorities with athletic needs.
Lahore: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sparked controversy by appointing a police officer, Hina Manwar, as the team manager for the upcoming Asia Cup, sidelining a key member of the support staff in a surprising move.
Hina Manwar, who previously served as chief security officer, has swiftly transitioned into the managerial role despite criticisms over potential impacts on fitness and performance. Her career highlights in law enforcement, including pioneering roles in Swat and the Frontier Constabulary, underscore her credentials but raise questions about cricketing expertise.
Critics argue that non-cricketing appointments risk compromising the team’s preparation and touring success, particularly regarding fitness and injury prevention. The recent dismissal of the strength and fitness coach has heightened concerns among fans, casting a spotlight on PCB’s decision-making ahead of the crucial Asia Cup.
