Dawn PCB defers decision on Rashid
By Our Sports Correspondent - 15 November 2002

LAHORE, Nov 14: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) known for making mind-boggling decisions without taking into pros and cons has once again deferred the fate of Rashid Latif till Saturday.

This is the third time that PCB has changed its stance on injury-prone 34-year old Rashid since the first choice wicketkeeper went to Zimbabwe nursing a neck injury. Whether the team management knew of his injury or not is another matter.

A PCB spokesman said Thursday that Rashid will go through more tests on his troubled neck vertebra at Johannesburg in order to diagnose the real trouble.

PCB chairman a few days earlier, had announced that Rashid would return home to be treated by PCB's panel of doctors. But surprisingly now the decision has been delayed till Saturday which shows the mindset of PCB.

Earlier the PCB chief had instructed the team management to ensure Rashid receives best possible medical treatment in South Africa.
