National cricket selector Asif Baloch injured in attack
Staff Report
ISLAMABAD: Pakistans national cricket selector Asif Baloch has been left critically injured after being attacked by armed men in the troubled province of Balochistan. Baloch, a co-opted member of the national selection committee for the last few years who hails from Balochistan, was attacked and shot several times by gunmen while on duty in the Panjgor area of the province on Wednesday. His condition is not stable as yet and he was flown to Karachi and admitted to the Intensive care unit of a private hospital, a relative was quoted as saying Friday. Baloch has toured with the Pakistan team as manager and is a senior official in Pakistan Customs. He could have been the victim of smugglers as he supervised check-posts in the area, a provincial official said. Asif, a former first-class cricketer, has remained associated with Pakistan cricket in different capacities. His brother, Tariq, is also a member of the Pakistan Cricket Boards (PCB) governing council.
