Islamabad (October 05, 2017): Former women’s general manger Shamsa Hashmi said that she had been trying to control Sana Mir’s supremacy by counselling as she wanted to appoint her former fellow players to the selection committee.
She criticised Mir’s captaincy over the years. She had been discouraging players and had taken shocking on-field decisions, Shamsa told reporters in a media appearance at her home.
She said that I never spoke earlier in public about what Sana had been saying, because I was part of the PCB and I do like to follow the organisation’s obligations.
Shamsa said, I heard she didn’t want to work with the management of the women’s wings but still she had been working with us for the last two-and-a-half years.
She wanted to have her former fellow players appointed to the selection committee and one of them she wanted to have as women’s team trainer. I didn’t want to be a part of it, and I told her that I would have to think about it. So if that was the problem, then I can’t do anything about it.”
Earlier, Mir, the team manager and a couple of senior players had been singled out for blame for Pakistan’s winless World Cup campaign.
In a damning report, coach Sabih Azhar accused Mir of adopting a negative approach and of being completely self-obsessed.
Mir had stepped down as captain of the T20 side after 2016 Women’s World T20.
