The former Pakistani cricket captain said having Misbah in the dug-out of any PSL team would be a clear case of conflict of interest. Both the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Pakistani head coach should avoid any such conflict, he added. “Everyone can understand that would be conflict of interest, simply," Khan told media here in the city. "One should voluntarily step down when such conflict is there and avoid any such move because he holds a responsible post with Pakistan cricket team. “The PCB must make sure that the way they have stopped other coaches from taking PSL roles, they should act here as well to avoid conflict of interest. The pol - icy is applied uniformly on everyone,” he added. The former captain highlighted that having the national team’s head coach and chief selector in the dug-out of any PSL team would not leave a good impact on other players and the league's teams. While no official announcement has been made about Mis - GLASGOW: Britain’s Kayla can der Merwe (L) and Molly Renshaw competing in the Women’s 50m Breastroke heats during the European Short Course Swimming Championships. bah's selection for a role with PSL, it is believed that Pak - istan's incumbent head coach and selector has already agreed with Islamabad United for the role of franchise’s head coach.
