This caused great controversy over whose 'fault' it was. Khan was amongst those blamed and there were talks about him retiring from PCB after this. However, he later spoke out and said he would not resign.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.ibnlive.com/cricketnext/news/pcb-chairman-shaharyar-khan-says-he-is-not-stepping-down-1224369.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160404035037/http://www.ibnlive.com/cricketnext/news/pcb-chairman-shaharyar-khan-says-he-is-not-stepping-down-1224369.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2016-04-04|title=PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan says he is not stepping down|website=IBNLive|access-date=2016-04-02}}</ref> He also said it would be better to bring in a foreign coach, implying that [[Waqar Younis]]' coaching contract, which ends in June 2016, will not be renewed.
