Javed Miandad refuses to respond to PCB’s show cause notice – Cricket News Update
The ongoing rift between http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Javed-Miandad-c66580 took more hype after it was recently learnt that the nation’s former Captain and batting legend, refused to respond to the board’s show-cause notice, issued to him earlier this month,
for slamming PCB regarding its mismanagment, ethics and decision making.
Miandad, who has been working with the PCB as its Director for Cricket Affairs since 2008, stated that after watching the board closely throughout his tenure, he does not agree to the working of the nation’s cricketing governing body, citing that ‘90 percent
of their decisions were erroneous’.
Soon after Miandad revealed his comments for the board, the former cricketer was issued a seven days show cause notice by the PCB, according to which, Miandad’s out loud remarks had violated his terms of employment. With the deadline already expired on last
Thursday, Miandad is yet to come out with his response.
“So far we have yet to get a formal response from him to the notice but we will look at the issue on Monday,” said a senior PCB official.
However, in Miandad’s defence, the former skipper who has served Pakistan for over 2 decades, said that he had no intensions of responding to the notice, since he is only answerable to the chief patron of the board, President Asif Ali Zardari, who initially
appointed Miandad as Director Cricket Affairs.
“I will give my explanation to the President when he gives me time for a meeting and I will apprise him of the issues in the board,” stated Miandad.
According to a PCB official, with Miandad already on the Board’s top management, his case would be dealt with more caution, since any other violator would have received a severe punishment for not responding to the notice in time.
This does not come as the first time for an official or a player to lash out at PCB for its decision making, especially since the board came under the Chairmanship of the infamous http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ijaz-Butt-c64128, who, as another one of the President’s appointees, has been heading
the governing body since 2008.
