Rather disgraceful

But another element is the poor way our different sports bodies are run. In most cases it is a bureaucrat or some political appointee ignorant to the dynamics of the game, who normally heads a board. Ex-chairman cash rich PCB Dr Nasim Ashraf and the demise of cricket is a case in point. Such directors are little interested in elevating the game or taking care of the sportsmen for that matter. The players then are left with only one option: move to western countries, hire coaches of their own to be able to make a name in the game. Could then one expect these poverty-stricken, unskilled players to bag some laurels? Our youth looks up to the government to do something.
