An interview with Miandad

The Dawn's M Wasim meets Javed Miandad, the former Pakistan captain, and seeks his views on a range of cricketing issues. In the interview, Miandad minces no words when asked about his opinions about the Pakistan board.

There is not a single person in the board who knows [about] cricket. None of them have even played first class cricket. That’s why they are only ‘yes-men’, and authorities always look for such people. It’s a one-man-show in the team. The chairman of the board is there because he has the backing of higher authorities. You can easily evaluate his tenure. For the last nine or 10 years, ad-hocism has always prevailed in the country.
