Javed Miandad believes Pakistan Cricket Board should be focusing on enhancing the construction of cricket from the country instead of pursuing a bilateral show with India.
“They don’t want to play with us so be it. Our cricket won’t die if we don’t play with India. We should move on and forget about them,” Miandad told the press in a role in Karachi.
The veteran of 124 Tests stated there was no need for its PCB to “plead” the BCCI for bilateral matches.
“They have not played against us in the last ten decades, so what? Has our cricket gone? No we have done nicely. The Champions Trophy win is an example. Cricket can’t die in Pakistan. We have also lived with no international cricket in the home since 2009,” he pointed out.
India and Pakistan have not played bilateral cricket since 2012 owing to political tensions between the two countries after the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks. The former ruler urged that the PCB to handle its finances much better.
“Nowadays the PCB is financially secure but there is a need for good accountability of where the cash that comes in the ICC is spent.
“There is a necessity to reduce the administrative expenses of the board and eliminate of this army of advisers, consultants and employees. The PCB can simply function without paying such heavy salaries to an over-sized staff,” he said.
