Shahryar while speaking to the media said “Moin is being recalled immediately so he can explain his position himself and by that time we will have a proper investigation report.”
Shahryar also added, “I spoke to Moin and he said he went to the casino and regrets the visit but he was there with his wife and a friend’s wife.”
He also announced that Naveed Cheema will replace Moin Khan as the chief selector for the time being.
Earlier, Moin apologised for visiting a casino in Brisbane during his stay with the cricket team for the World Cup.
As per the report probing the presence of Moin at the casino, the chief selector regrets his actions. The report was presented by Pakistan Cricket Board’s team manager Naveed Akram Cheema to PCB chairman Shahryar Khan.
Cheema told the PCB chairman that Moin admitted he went to the casino but only to have dinner.
