The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has
issued a show cause notice to former skipper Javed Miandad, in response
to his weary remarks regarding the board’s working and policies.
"The PCB is very clear about the rules and regulations governing its employees and contracted players. Javed Miandad is a employee and has to follow these regulations as well," the official said.
Miandad on Wednesday, while criticizing
the Board, said that 90 per cent of the decisions taken by the PCB
proved wrong. The legendary cricketer, who has been rendering his
services as director cricket affairs since 2008, on a
well-paid package, said that after clearly observing the system, he
found out that PCB has been responsible for a lot of issues.
“People around the world regard my
services as a cricketer but the PCB doesn’t want to give me authority to
improve [Pakistan] cricket,” Miandad said.
The 54-year-old indicated that he has
already brought this matter into the notice of President Asif Ali
Zardari, who is also the chief patron of the board. Miandad added that
he will have one more meeting with president of Pakistan
and will explain the miserable condition of the game in the country.
“I will request him to either take
necessary steps [to improve cricketing matters] or allow me to leave the
DG post,” stated Miandad,
The PCB official asserted that the board
has sought explanation of Miandad’s statement, as it comes under
violation of his central contract.
This is not for the first time that
Miandad has lamented the board’s working, earlier in 2009 he stepped
down from his post in a bid to stand against the policies of PCB’s
chairman Ijaz Butt.
The main issue for which Miandad has been
at loggerheads with the board was that he was not given full power to
use his rights for the betterment of the board.
According to speculations, Miandad has
only come forward with these allegations after his advice on the
selection of a new Head coach for Pakistan was not considered by the Paksitan Cricket Board.
Waqar Younis, the present Head coach, will quit his duties as Pakistan after the conclusion of Pakistan's ongoing tour to Zimbabwe.
