Waqar press conference in Lahore

Waqar Younis is the first name from the team management and players who have finally taken a brave step and come in front of the media. Waqar was present at the PCB headquarters at Qaddafi Stadium Lahore.

Waqar talked to the media before heading out to the fact-finding committee to submit his report on the problems that he thinks needs to be addressed immediately if the board is serious about making some progress in international cricket.

Waqar said that first he apologizes to the nation for the poor show the team put in the Asia cup and World t20. He said that he is not present here to do politics. His job is to get the facts to the management and that is it.

Waqar said that there are some huge issues with Pakistan cricket and until these issues are not addressed there is no chance that our cricket will raise once again. He said that changing a player or a captain or card for that matter is certainly not the solution.

He said that if people think sacking him will do the job then he is more than ready to leave his place for a new coach. But he said everybody knows this is not the solution. There have come many coaches but still Pakistan team remained a weak side most of the times.

Waqar said that there is no grouping in the team. He said this news about grouping are all rumors and nothing much. The performances the team has given in the recent tournaments are not because of grouping. Players did not perform well and hence we lost the games.
