Pakistan’s misery continues to escalate during the World Cup now chief selector Moin Khan is in the dock for a Casino night out with his wife after the team's defeat against the West Indies on Saturday night.

According to the eyewitness, Moin's wife was had cash and was playing almost every game in the casino. 

Team manager Naveed Cheema reported the incident to chairman Shaharyar Khan's and PCB expects Moin to give a proper explanation on the same.

Pakistan team has been struggling with in-fighting, and other disciple issues, which seems to be affecting their performance in the tournament Down Under.   

‎The fact that Moin is accompanying the team also became a subject of criticism in the Pakistani media. They accused the PCB of spending around five million rupees on Moin. The ICC pays for 18-member squad of every team and Moin was not part of the squad but is travelling as an extra member.

There were news reports of that the PCB chief was not keen on sending Moin for the two ODIs in New Zealand and to the World Cup.

However, Moin, who is a apparently a close associate of former chairman Najam Sethi, who is viewed to be the man running the show as head of the Executive Committee of the PCB, got his tour endorsed‎.
