Ex- Pakistan captain Javed Miandad desires Chris Broad to be barred for life by the International Cricket Council following his remarks on the terrorist attack in Lahore.

Broad, along with umpires Simon Taufel and Steve Davis, heavily criticised Pakistan’s security forces for their actions during the terrorist attack.

ICC referee Broad and the match officials were part of a convoy heading to the Gaddafi Stadium for the second Test between Sri Lanka and Pakistan when gunman launched their assault.

And while the Sri Lanka team were able to get to the ground, Broad had claimed the officials were left like “sitting ducks”.

Eight people died in the attack, with several members of the Sri Lanka squad and the fourth umpire injured, but former director-general of the Pakistan Cricket Board Miandad is now urging cricket’s governing body to act decisively over Broad’s very public reaction.

“I will urge the ICC to impose a life ban on Broad as he, being the official, has no right to make such remarks in public,” Miandad told The Dawn.

“When I was head of the organising committee for the two one-day internationals between Pakistan and Sri Lanka in Karachi, Broad was very impressed with the security arrangements.

“But when I asked him to express his views before the media, he refused, saying he was not allowed to comment on security to the media but could only write to the ICC about it.

“But now by speaking to the media on the Lahore attack, I believe Broad has pleased a lobby and the ICC should take strict action against him.”

Pakistan cricket chief Ijaz Butt has lodged an official complaint with the ICC and former Pakistan opener Aamir Sohail agrees with Miandad.

“Such negative remarks from an ICC match referee on the security measures will serve no purpose as the entire world has seen that our security officials sacrificed their lives to protect all foreigners,” Sohail said.

“Pakistan needs the support of the whole world and statements such as given by Broad are not needed by us.”

Karachi, Jan 28: Unhappy over Shoaib Malik’s unceremonious sacking from the post of captain, Javed Miandad today resigned as Director-General of the Pakistan Cricket Board.

Sources in the PCB have confirmed that Miandad has resigned but it was not clear if his resignation has been accepted by the Board as PCB Chairman Ejaz Butt has left for Perth this morning to attend ICC’s Executive Board Meeting starting Saturday.

Miandad’s resignation comes less than 24 hours after emergency meetings with PCB officials and former and current players resulted in Younis Khan taking over the Pakistan captaincy from Malik.

Malik’s ouster came after Pakistan’s recent ODI series defeat at the hands of Sri Lanka.

Miandad, who served as Pakistan coach thrice in the past, took over the position of PCB Director-General in November last year.

Javed Miandad called for an in depth inquiry into the affairs of the Pakistan Cricket Board before Nasim Ashraf is allowed to leave the country following his resignation as its chairman and Miandad said Ashraf was an American passport holder and could possibly leave the country soon but he should not be allowed to go abroad without a full and proper inquiry into the affairs of the Board during his tenure since late 2006.

Miandad a vocal critic of PCB, feels Ashraf`s faulty policies had led to a downslide in Pakistan cricket and there was a need for him and his team to be held accountable and this culture of people holding foreign passports leaving the country as soon as they are forced to leave their powerful positions must stop. They must be held accountable for their deeds. Shaukat Aziz the former Prime Minister had gone abroad and no one could do anything against him said Miandad who played 124 Tests & he also asked the ruling government to place Ashraf`s name on the exit control list ECL. I fear Ashraf will also leave for the states soon so his name should be put on the ECL until the probe into cricket affairs is completed.
