Mohsin Khan unaware of the offer

By Our Sports Reporter

KARACHI, Aug 16: Mohsin Khan said on Sunday that he has not been approached by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for the job of junior team coach.

"I was not contacted by the authorities. The news has come to me through you," said the cricketer-turned-actor.

Mohsin declined to comment if he would accept the cricket board's offer but minced no words in saying that it would be a paid one. "Obviously, it is going to be a paid job," he remarked.

The former stylish opener said technically the authorities should contact him. "They haven't approached me but might contact me tomorrow.

"I don't know if I would accept the offer. The terms and conditions of the contract have to be discussed. Until these issues are settled, it is difficult to predict if I would accept the challenge," he stated.

He was, however, optimistic that by Monday he would be able to reach a decision.

He was also unclear about what constituted a junior team. "I presume that it would be an Under-19 and A teams. But these need clarification which I should get by Monday."

Mohsin, who was one of the candidates for the senior team coach, put up a brave face saying he was not disappointed. "I am happy for Javed Miandad and wish him good luck."
