Karachi: Pakistan Cricket on Friday witnessed another drama when Mohammad Illyas resigned from the national selection committee and then withdrew it on the insistence of PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt.
"Mohammad Illyas has agreed to withdraw his resignation and continue as national selector," a Board official said.Sources said that the resignation of Illyas was linked to the recent decision by the national selection committee to drop his son-in-law Imran Farhat from the national team for the New Zealand tour.
"Apparently Illyas was not happy with the decision taken by chief selector Mohsin Khan and decided to resign as he felt Imran deserved a place in the side," one source said.
But another source said that Illyas decided to resign as he felt his presence on the selection committee was hurting the career of Imran.
