PhD in system demolition and team disintegration

The controversial administration of the PCB under Ijaz Butt has prompted one of Pakistan's leading sports broadcaster, Zakir Hussain Syed, to propose a doctorate degree for cricket system demolition and team disintegration. In his column in the Daily Times, Syed lists out the various blunders and inexplicable decisions taken by the Butt administration.

The first requirement after this tragedy should have been to go to Sri Lanka and express public sorrow over this tragedy with some compensation for players but this is beyond the PCB officials who are more interested in their own foreign travels and the huge daily allowances that they earn. Example Ijaz’s numerous trips at PCB expense including the latest summer stay in England. Reportedly, he received $48000 as daily allowance during one year alone.
