According to a report, maverick all-rounder Shahid Afridi has raised this demand for Mohsin Naqvi to quit one post following a hiccup in the Asia Cup on Sunday. To add to his problems, Naqvi is also the President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), having taken over after India's Jay Shah moved to the ICC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Although Pakistan finished as runner-up in the regional event, the fact that they were embarrassed by India thrice in the Asia Cup has resulted in critics lashing out at the team\u2019s poor batting and PCB\u2019s lack of vision. Naqvi is now facing scrutiny over his handling of the board, according to a report by Telecom Asia Sport on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMy request or advice to Naqvi Saheb is that you have two very important posts, and they are big jobs and need time,\u201d Afridi said in response to a question. \u201cPCB is totally different from the interior ministry, so it must be kept separate.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
According to the report, Afridi said a decision should be imminent. \u201cIt would be a big decision and should be taken as soon as possible. Pakistan cricket needs special attention and time,\u201d Afridi told www.telecomasia.net.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Afridi said Naqvi\u2019s advisers are not reliable. \u201cNaqvi cannot rely totally on advisers. These advisers are taking him nowhere, and he himself says that he doesn\u2019t know much about cricket.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The report said that Afridi has been vocal about Naqvi\u2019s dual posts, but his calls have not been heeded. Sources said he also told the country\u2019s strong army chief to advise Naqvi to leave one post and concentrate on the other.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
