Pakistan's chief selector Inzamam-ul-Haq whose tenure ends this month has said that the job was the tougest thing that he has done in his life and was particularly hurt by critics targetting him for picking Imam-ul-Haq in the team.

Inzamam, whose tenure ends on July 31, said that critics and some former players focussed merely on criticising his nephew who plays in the Pakistan team as a left-handed top order batsman.
