On Coaches Waqar Younis and Aaqib Javed

One thing I have learnt in my many years as a cricketer was that you never stop learning. It doesn’t matter how many years you have been playing cricket, or how old you are or how many matches you have played in, there is always room for improvement in areas such as technical issues. Once you retire from playing and become a coach or want to contribute to the game in one way or another, you require further education. You need to discuss quite a few things with different people so your thoughts are clear. However if you want to live in the past glories, you are never going to be in a position to contribute or influence anything. You can’t just live off your past experiences, you have to continue learning, you can’t just bank on reading the coaching manual, as the coaching manual isn’t always right in my opinion as it was written more than 100 years ago. Cricket is changing day by day, new innovations, new ideas, you can’t just keep on relying on the olden methods. If Waqar thinks that he can just rely on what he did as a player and without any further education that he can impart to the current side, then he’s wrong. It doesn’t work like that and it doesn’t work very often.
