PCB slams lid on Moin Khan’s casino controversy




  • Moin-Khan Moin Khan



Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shahryar Khan has put an end to Moin Khan’s casino controversy, calling the chapter as ‘closed’ following the chief selector’s apology over the issue.


Earlier, PCB had recalled its chief selector Moin Khan from the ongoing World Cup after he allegedly visited a casino in Christchurch, New Zealand on the eve of a group stage match.


Reflecting on the matter, Shahryar said that Moin realised that it was ‘inappropriate’ to have visited a casino ahead of Pakistan’s match against the West Indies, adding that Moin ‘reiterated’ that ‘he only had dinner over there and nothing else’, the Dawn reported.


Calling the matter as ‘closed’, Shahryar further said that Moin had ‘apologised’ as he admitted that perhaps a casino was ‘not the right place to have dinner’. However, Shahryar confirmed that Moin would not be travelling back to Australia.


Pakistan scraped out a 20-run win over Zimbabwe on Sunday in Brisbane after suffering humiliating defeats against the West Indies and India in their first two matches. The team will next meet the United Arab Emirates in their fourth Pool B match at Napier, New Zealand on Wednesday.
