I always wanted to push the deserving candidates. It looked like that I was battling for each seemingly insignificant detail. There was such a lot interference of the selectors, now and again non-deserving players are being pushed.”
He added, “The secretary Mahim Verma has a ton of obstruction, at whatever point you talk to him, he says to talk to him. Towards the end, they chose the group for Vijay Hazare Trophy and I was not kept tuned in. they changed the skipper, 11 players were changed, on the off chance that things need to go down this way, at that point how might one work? I am not saying that I will choose the group, yet on the off chance that you don’t take my proposal, at that point what is the purpose of me bring there.”
Mahim Verma backs his allrgations
Reacting to Jaffer’s comments, Verma said that, “Wasim had so many problems and whatever he is saying it is totally wrong there is no fact in his statement. We started creating activites on his request only. He coordinated a choice match. Jaffer said that if things won’t run as I would see it I will venture down. He additionally said that mentor and bowling trainer will be from my side I said alright. The choice council said whatever group he is asking we can give him and if there will be no exhibition we will make a move against him.”
He added, “He also misbehaved with me many times. He gave a separate list of players on February 7, I’m again saying that he has a right to recommend but he can’t send a list of players who will be selected by the selection committee. There were many problems with him. We wanted a good cricketing atmosphere in our association that is why we hired him.”
Jaffer took over as the Uttarakhand mentor in June 2020 for a one-year time span. The group as of late lost four out of five matches in Syed Mushtaq Ali trophy under his residency.
