Mohsin, who previously coached Pakistan across eight Test matches – winning six and drawing two – in a hugely successful long format stint during the 2011-12 season, was addressing media at his Karachi residence.
Of late the 61 year-old has turned into a staunch critic of the PCB during TV stints across various international assignments.
His latest volley was aimed at the committee assigned the task of finding Waqar’s replacement that comprises of legendary cricketers Wasim Akram and Ramiz Raja. Mohsin described them as “too junior” to conduct an interview with him for the role.
“I won’t be interviewed by my juniors; there’s simply no possibility of that,” said Mohsin. “Both cricketers in the committee started their careers towards the end of mine. If I apply, I will address my application to the chairman only.”
Mohsin was unceremoniously dumped as head coach after a long and draining series against England in the UAE four years ago but is adamant he is ready to “serve his country” again but only if his demands were met.
Under Mohsin, Misbah-ul-Haq’s team whitewashed the then world number one England in the longest format, before enduring a slump in both ODI and T20I formats — 4-0 and 2-1 defeats. Mohsin believes that the series defeat was due to outside influences.
“We did fantastically well against England in the Tests but after that a conspiracy was initiated to remove me,” said Mohsin.
“The illogical move destroyed Pakistan cricket since my replacement Dav Whatmore and after him Waqar did nothing noteworthy for our cricket; we have now been left in a state of absolute shambles.”
Mohsin minced no words in his criticism of foreign coaches, adding he feels that the so-called “high profile” candidates are only interested in filling their pockets.
Mohsin was also offered the post of chief selector after the Haroon Rasheed-led selection committee was sacked last week, a role he claims to have turned down in belief that selectors have a thankless job and often their plans are not executed by the team management.
