"Waqar probably were not able to produce the desired results with the national team but he is still one of our best players and have a great position in cricket. It was unfortunate that his secret was leaked to the media of the plate," said Shahriar.

"I apologized to dignity, and wished him well after he told me and I decided to resign from the post of head coach, but the meeting was held in a good environment and I have promised him that the Council will hold an investigation to determine how the Sri report said it was leaked."

"However, it seems that reached out to Waqar, the Council decided to act upon the recommendations of the Truth and the search for a new coach," said one source.

He said Waqar then decided himself to resign even though he lost to pay compensation to the 4.8 million rupees which the Council would pay him if they had sacked him before the completion of the period of his contract.

"Money is not everything. I am very satisfied that the chairman called me and listen to me patiently to what I had to say. He also apologized for the leakage of the reports and said that he will conduct an investigation to find out who is responsible for this, said Waqar."

Waqar said he had resigned from his post at a later time, but after a report leaked that he wanted to make a point and get the council officials to listen to him. (Also read: Sarfraz Ahmed replaces Shahid Afridi as captain of Pakistan T20)

"I have said that if they want they can also use the fees payable to me (about six million rupees) now to improve the structure of domestic cricket. At the end of the day is all about improving things in Pakistan cricket and not about individuals, said Waqar."

The former test captain criticized the head of the PCB and close aide Najam Sethi for refusing to meet him last week at the Council's offices shortly after the report was leaked in the media.

"You can not be successful every time and I know I will not be able to implement what I expected the nation to me. But for me, what hurts is that Najam Sethi, who was appointed at the beginning and supported me, did not bother to take my calls after he said at the World Cup when I wanted some reforms to be in the team and the selection policy.
