Differences between Pakistan’s chief selector Wasim Bari and coach Bob Woolmer has come in the open with the latter accusing the Englishman of “forcing his will” on the selection committee.

Bari said he disagreed with the selection of two spinners and dropping of an opener from the one-day squad for the series against India and would take up the matter with the Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shaharyar Khan.
