"It is unfortunate that instead of making full use of Inzamam's experience they chose to ignore him and silently sideline him for the South Africa whereas his experience would have been very good for the team in South Africa," Moin said.

Pakistan's former coach and chief selector, Mohsin Khan also agreed with Moin pointing out that there was a need for the board to give more importance and respect to Pakistan's former players. "Inzamam could have done a lot for the players in South Africa as they would have listened to him. It is important for players in the team to respect and try to follow their coach. Unfortunately the team is struggling badly in SA because of such issues," he said. Mohsin was released by the board to bring in Whatmore as coach last year even though he had coached the team to a 3-0 whitewash over England. Another former captain, Rashid Latif also felt that the board should have tried to utilize the services of Inzamam when he was willing to work with the team. "It is time the board started taking advantage of our greats like Inzamam and Wasim Akram and others. What is worrying is that the team management appears to be struggling with plans to cope with the testing conditions in SA."
