Miandad served show-cause notice by PCB over outburst

LAHORE : The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Thursday served a show-cause notice on batting icon and its director general Javed Miandad for criticising the board policies in an interview to Dawn.Miandad, who besides being the director general has also been associated with the board as Governing Board member almost for three years as a powerless man, has been asked by the PCB to submit the reply within seven days.In the past, Miandad on several occasions decided to quit the job, but President Asif Ali Zardari, patron of the PCB, asked the legendary cricketer to continue his affiliation with the board.Miandad might have been frustrated amid his claims that he had not been given any significant role in PCB affairs, particularly when the board snubbed him recently while naming a committee for the process to appoint a new coach for the Pakistan team.The said committee is headed by former Pakistan captain Intikhab Alam with Zaheer Abbas and Col. Naushad Ali, both not employed by the PCB, as its members.
