Rafique Wants to Go Home!

Murad · #1 July 6, 2007, 03:08 PM

Bad News Guys

Our best bowler wants to go home. His little boy is sick for some days and he's very worried about him. Thats the reason he didn't bowl well. Now He wants to go home after the 3rd Test, which means he will not play the ODI series.

Our management is not doing the right things by keeping him in the Test as he wants to go home. They should let him go to his sick child, instead they are telling him to go by different procedures to get the permission from the board. They are telling him to write a letter to the board and bla bla then the selectors will think about it then he will get the permission. Stupid Management. He's been serving the country for more than a decade and now he needs to go thorough all this.

Don't you think he should have given the permission right away??? He doesnt have to go through all this. No Sympathy for the players from the management and the board.

Shamokal

Let him go home, theres a difference between Family and Cricket, you can bring in Enam Jr to replace him.

*AsifTheManRahman* · #3 July 6, 2007, 03:11 PM

Well if the board's just a phone call away, I don't see why it should be a problem.

Anyways, he should be allowed to leave, and I hope his son gets well soon.

if he asks for it, he should be granted it. honestly - it will be the right move for our team as well. razzak can very ably fit those shoes. i'd rather have enamul though.

Fazal · #5 July 6, 2007, 03:13 PM

Yes he should be allowed to go home. This just a game any way... life and familiy is more important. And this will give another opportunity to a new player. We are going to loose by an Innings anyway. And Rafiq is not playing that well so far.

So whats the problem then?

sandpiper · #6 July 6, 2007, 03:13 PM

very bad news for the team before the one day series. I pray for the quick recovery of his son.

Tigers_eye · #7 July 6, 2007, 03:14 PM

What's up with the management? he should immidiately get released and shipped home. When a child is sick the whole gameplan (of life) changes. I am just shocked by mismanagement. Isn't Akram Khan with the team? What is he doing? Geez!! I am just speechless!!!

Rajowana · #8 July 6, 2007, 03:19 PM

Well this is a bad news but it is his son afterall and family is first.But anyway hope he gets better soon.

wait a minute. if his son's been sick since the beginning of the tour, and he's been wanting to go home all along, the management should've released him immediately instead of making him play the first two tests.

Akram is not a good manager,he was with our U-19 team that got mauled int he Asia cup.

May Allah heal Rafique's child

Let him go family comes first. Hope his son gets well soon

WarWolf · #12 July 6, 2007, 03:24 PM

Forget about the game, just release him at once. He deserves it. Praying for his son. Inshallah he will recover soon.

SS · #13 July 6, 2007, 03:24 PM

selectors matha karap...BCB busy with last minute karchupi....management managing their shopping list...players tired playing three days of test...when we last saw anything positive
Rafique should go home for this reason, as he will not be able to concentrate properly and also need to be side by his son!

ialbd · #14 July 6, 2007, 03:53 PM

yes family comes first, rafiq should go home right away. Razzak can perform better than half-hearted Rafiq. InshAllah the kid will recover soon....

Kabir · #15 July 6, 2007, 04:03 PM

There's nothing more important than family. He should be allowed to go home immediately. It's not that there's no-one who can replace him...we've got enough players to make up may be 50% of his aggression.

Hope his son is well.

FaridpurChicago · #16 July 6, 2007, 04:14 PM

First of all, all my prayer for the boy and I wish Rafiq stand beside his son.

Asking for vacation and going through formality should be the procedure. This is not just another game or how capable is his replacement. This is his job and every office has some working procedure. What happens to us if our kid is sick, can we just stop working. We need to ask for vacation, delegate responsibility. Yes, a good management approves the vacation immediately; but a good employee thinks about both. Work is first for my office management, family is first for me and I need to manage both.

If Rafiq asked for vacation immediately and the management took time for bureaucracy then only I'm up to blame the management.

rah · #17 July 6, 2007, 04:22 PM

first may his child get well

anyways if he wants to leave, he has every right to do so. jus let him go and call haque jr up

One World · #18 July 6, 2007, 05:07 PM

mali007 · #19 July 6, 2007, 05:12 PM

Family first. Stupid management !!

Antora · #20 July 6, 2007, 07:39 PM

Exactly!

Those ppl in the management have no brain at all.... faltu ekta manager.. bole ki na.. letter likho aaage...

Rabz · #22 July 6, 2007, 08:48 PM

Well, there is no point makig him play if his heart is not in the game.
He would be better off to his family, and rightly so.
Hope his son gets better soon.

layperson · #23 July 6, 2007, 08:56 PM

If my son was sick and I was worried about him and If I were in Rafique's position I would have said "screw you" to the management, bought my ticket and taken the next avaiable flight back home.

battye · #24 July 6, 2007, 09:12 PM

I hope his son is alright. The board should have released Rafique from the squad immediately.

scoilaheez · #25 July 6, 2007, 09:14 PM

The board should most definetly allow him to go home. He will not perform in any case if he is held against his wishes. It would also allow another opportunity for a younger player possibly Razzaq or Enamul or even Mehrab to play as a frontline spinner
