Amir Sohail Biography

Sohail who represented Pakistan on more than 200 occasions has been a frequent critic of the Pakistan Cricket Board particularly during the tenure of previous incumbent Ijaz Butt. Sohail worked under Chairman Ijaz Butt, before resigning in July 2009 due to what he cited as a lack of job satisfaction.

Speaking exclusively to PakPassion.net from Lahore, Sohail blasted the Pakistan Cricket Board for appointing Intikhab Alam to head the committee that is responsible for identifying the next coach of Pakistan. The committee was formed following Waqar Younis' resignation prior to the team's departure for Zimbabwe, due to health reasons.

"The individual who is responsible for the extremely important task of identifying the next coach of the national team and recommending him to the chairman should be someone who knows the job themselves and that is certainly not Intikhab" stated Sohail.

Sohail continued, "For the PCB hierarchy to put Intikhab in charge of recommending the next coach of Pakistan to the chairman is absolutely scandalous.

A combative left-hand opener, Aamer Sohail was a predominantly back-foot player whose forte was improvisation. He loved to attack, and almost found it impossible to control his aggression. He showed no fear, epitomised by his baiting of Venkatesh Prasad in a 1996 World Cup quarter-final in front of a hostile Bangalore crowd. He was an effective left-arm spinner, more a one-day bowler than a Test wicket-taker. Aamir played a big part in Pakistan's World Cup triumph in 1992, and famously told Ian Botham that he might want to send his mother-in-law in to bat after Botham was controversially given out for 0 in the final. He captained Pakistan at the height of the match-fixing controversy, and was one of the whistle-blowers. His career suffered as a result, and he left the international scene early to work in broadcasting, where he might have tried harder to suppress his personal prejudices.
