KARACHI: Former Pakistan Test cricketer Aamer Sohail on Monday decided to quit as Pakistan Cricket Board’s Director Game Development, triggering yet another headache for the crisis-ridden board.

Aamer has been having a rough time in recent weeks and had given indications that he might resign instead of carrying on in unfavorable conditions.

Sohail, 42, said that he was getting no ‘job satisfaction’, which he said was the major reason behind his decision to step down.

“Yes, I have resigned today,” Aamer told ‘Arab News’ from Lahore. “It has always been my principle in life that I have to achieve the task given to me,” he said. “But while working with the PCB I wasn’t able to do that. There was no job satisfaction.”

Aamer, who played 47 Tests and made 2823 runs besides accumulating 4780 runs from 156 One-day Internationals, left a lucrative career as an expert cricket commentator to join the PCB as a director.

But in recent times, he was not getting along with senior board officials including its chairman Ijaz Butt and Director Human Resources Wasim Bari.

To make matters worse, earlier this month Aamer was issued a show cause notice by Bari for failing to attend an ICC course in London. At that time, Sohail said that he skipped the course because of his wife’s illness and instead sent one of the colleagues to England.

The Lahore-born Aamer said that he will revive his career as a television commentator.

Sohail’s decision to quit comes a few weeks after former Chief Selector Abdul Qadir, also an ex-Pakistan Test cricketer, decided to step down because of his differences with the board’s top brass and the national team management. Qadir accused them of meddling with selection affairs.

Earlier this year, Pakistan legend Javed Miandad resigned as PCB’s director-general complaining that he wasn’t given enough powers to carry out his duties. However, Miandad rejoined the PCB a few weeks later apparently after reaching a settlement with Butt, also a former Pakistan Test cricketer.

Both Miandad and Qadir were bitter in their criticism of the board after tendering their resignations.

However, Aamer made it clear that he was against the idea of washing your dirty linen in public. “Don’t expect any outbursts (against the board) from my side,” he said. “I believe that there are work ethics and it’s not fair to start speaking against an organization after leaving it.”
