Mohsin caught unawares!

Al-Amin from Johannesburg
Akram Khan's call-up to the Bangladesh squad as a replacement for injured paceman Mashrafee bin-Mortuza came as a pleasant surprise for coach Mohsin Kamal.
The former Pakistani international said that it was the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB)'s decision and he had no problems with it. "It's probably not a bad idea that a batsman is replacing a pace bowler.
"To lose Mashrafee in the middle of the tournament is a big setback because he was getting into a good rhythm.
"We will definitely miss him in our next matches. But we have other fast bowlers and we have also successfully utilised slow bowlers like Alok Kapali and Ehsanul Haq here. So, I think bringing in a batsman could be useful," said Mohsin.
Mohsin's charges have had a disgraceful start in the World Cup losing to Canada and Sri Lanka with the batsmen failing miserably. On the other hand, the bowling and fielding looked sharp against Canada and the West Indies which has raised the debate that Mohsin is a better bowling coach but his lack of batting aptitude is telling on the Bangladesh team.
There's talk in the air that the Pakistani's tenure could well be over after the World Cup but the 39-year-old was not entertaining that idea just yet.
"I think I need another two years to get the team into a reasonable shape", said Mohsin apparently unaware of the ground reality.
The lack of communication between the team management and the coach was also highlighted by the Akram issue.
Sources close to the team say that it was captain Khaled Mashud who convinced the BCB that veteran Akram was the ideal substitute for Mashrafee. It appears that Mashud didn't deem it necessary to consult Mohsin about Akram before asking the BCB.
Mashud is a staunch supporter of youth in the side and it required a surprising change of heart on his part to pull for Akram who was omitted from the original World Cup squad in favour of the youngsters. And Mashud insisted that Akram's experience had nothing to do with his inclusion.
"We didn't select him for his (Akram's) experience. Rather, his form in domestic cricket was our main consideration.
"When we set off for the tournament we had planned for eleven games (five in Namibia and six in the World Cup). But now there are only three matches left and with another paceman available in the squad there's no point in bringing another one. Besides, our batting is still not clicking. That is one of the main reason why we asked for Akram", explained Mashed.
Akram is expected to arrive in South Africa on Thursday to join the team in Bloemfontein.
