KARACHI: Former Pakistan cricket greats on Tuesday criticised the choice of Geoff Lawson as national coach, saying that if a foreigner had to take the job it should have been veteran Dav Whatmore. Ex-captains and coaches, Javed Miandad and Intikhab Alam, and fast bowler Sarfraz Nawaz, said Lawson, 49, was too inexperienced for the job. “I am baffled,” said Miandad, a master batsman who coached Pakistan three times in the last decade before he was replaced by Bob Woolmer in 2004. He said Pakistani ex-players such as Intikhab, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis would have been better. Sarfraz Nawaz blamed player power for Lawson’s appointment. “The PCB is promoting players’ power because players wanted Lawson instead of Whatmore,” said Sarfraz. PCB chairman Nasim Ashraf has denied that a players’ vote led to Lawson’s appointment. — Agencies
