Lahore, Aug 18: Celebrated cricketer and former Pakistan team coach
Javed Miandad said on Wednesday he will appear before one-man
judicial commission Justice Malik Muhammad Qayyum whenever he is be
called.
Talking to reporters at the Qadhafi Stadium, Javed Miandad said that
last time he could not appear before the commission, because he was
in England with his family. He said that he learnt through newspapers
that Justice Qayyum has summoned called all the World Cup team on Aug
23 but he had not received any letter personally so far.
He called the appointment of Wasim Hasan Raja as new coach of
Pakistan team a good decision, but added that English type coaching
could not remove the shortcomings, which the Pakistan team was
facing.
Javed Miandad said that in his tenure the team did excellent fielding
during the Indian tour and won the first Asian Test Championship,
levelling the two match series at 1-1 and winning a triangular
tournament there. But its fielding and top order batting in the world
cup, despite having the services of foreign coach were much below to
the standard, he added.
He avoided to tell the reason behind his resignation as coach of
Pakistan team before the start of the World Cup.
"Time will come to reveal the reasons behind my resignation", he
said.
Javed Miandad will meet the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman
Mujeeb-ur-Rahman at the Qadhafi Stadium on Thursday.
