Cricket with India: Miandad urges PCB not to rush as BCCI can’t be trusted
154
ISLAMABAD: Former Pakistan batsman Javed Miandad on Sunday advised the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) not to rush into preparations for the series with India in Sri Lanka this December as according to him "India could not be trusted to keep its commitment".
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) officials had been continuously changing their stance on the matter and they might again back out at any moment, he said while talking to APP.
PCB has been pursuing BCCI to honour its commitment under the memorandum of understanding (MoU) in return for their support for the 'Big Three' set-up in the International Cricket Council (ICC) and play a (Pakistan's) home series, but the Indian counterparts have been avoiding on one pretext or the other.
After consensus between the two boards to play the series in Sri Lanka, the PCB have got approval from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and now the ball is in BCCI's court.
Miandad said first the Indian board seemed ready to play the series and when the PCB got the government's approval the BCCI officials started hyping that they required their government's permission.
“What kind of attitude has been adopted by India? It is always India that has created problems for cricketing ties between the two countries,” said the former great.
Miandad said the BCCI officials wanted to get things done their way, but such stubborn attitude was unacceptable.
“Despite their commitment, the PCB officials tried their best to settle the matter with mutual understanding,” he said.
The 58-year-old said he was not sure that India would play the series as ‘they had always tried to let down Pakistan’.
He said the PCB should not be in hurry.
“Both the PCB and the Sri Lanka Cricket (board) must first get India's consent in black and white and if they back out of the agreement then they should be penalised,” said Miandad.
Arrangements for the series, Miandad said, should be made after India's written commitment.
Speaking about the third T20 match with England on Monday, he said the coach and management should not tinker with the team combination for the final game of the tour.
“I don't know why Waqar Younis kept Ahmed Shahzad out of the first T20. It's time to stop experiments and start planning for the T20 World Cup next year.”
Miandad said had skipper Shahid Afridi played sensibly in the second T20 Pakistan would have won it.
“A six or four cannot be hit on every ball and a batsman should know it, but why doesn't he understand this?” he questioned.
He urged the selectors to monitor the domestic games for talented players.
“By picking up players for one or two matches and then discarding them shatters their confidence,” added Miandad.

I don't understand why PCB is rushing to play with India. Instead, PCB should chalk out a plan to play more with Australia, England, New Zealand and South Africa. India had never been a great cricket team so if you really want to make your team competitive, play with likes of Australia and South Africa more often. Try to speak more often with ECB and ACB and include more Pak players in counties and Big bash ext. That's the real way to improve your cricket standards and become more competitive. When there is more india-Pakistan cricket, there are more chances of gambling and match fixing because of the interest of bookies on both sides of the border. so lets play less with India and play more with other strong cricket teams.

Since Pakistan had given green signal for the series its Indian Govt who raising some concerns, which have to be discussed & should be taken positively...Eventhough both PCB and BCCI agrees for venue for upcoming home series it was very clear that without respective national govt. opinion, decisions is detrimental as per the contract signed. Since due to the difference of opinion between both Govts., on many issues; dreaming for a cricket match between India & Pakistan is childish. Lets wait for some serious talks happen between both Govts & a conducive environment is developed.

@Rajat -No sir. We do not see your point. How do you see ourselves playing cricket while our problems continue. You Indians want to present yourselves one above the rest while you are really no better than any other nation. No thanks.
I fully agree with Mr. Miandad.

Miandad's apprehension has weight. It seems playing with India is on top of the agenda of PCB, this is totally wrong approach. New & aggressive man is required at the helm of PCB affairs

And this guy makes statements of trusts etc, you want money for PCB, play with other countries you trust.

@Alam I am not sure what you mean about me including matches coming in future yo make it 10. But 10 world cup matches include 6 ODI wins in 1992, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2011, 2015. 4 T20 include 2 2007, 2012, 2014

@Sr we got many achievements to remember. Pakistan inflicted innings defeat on India in very first test series on Indian soil. It took more than 50 years for India to win test in Pakistan. Head to head Pakistan is far ahead of India in Tests as well as in ODIs. Pakistan have won more tests and ODI against India in India than India won in Pakistan. Pakistan won Test championship in India which involved India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Pakistan's performance against India in India is much better than other test playing countries.

@BRILLIANT MAN He was never born in India , I think you need to remember that a part of gujrat lies in Pakistan as well. Miandad has always been more Pakistani than many others will ever be. So kindly don't try and advise him. It should rather be you picking up the phone and asking BCCI whats going on and if they have gone political under your present regime themselves.

@NoCricketWithPak Exactly the face that you need to save. Neither do you have a credible BCCI, nor your Government is helping to save any of the face it has already lost on the International Circuit.
Your nick doesn't show you any different. Please be glad in the world you live in. Its highly credible anyways!

@Awaaz jordaar Miandad does not need your verdict to survive as one. He bears the utmost respect amongst those where he deserves it. Obviously most of the Indians haven't forgiven him for being the constant thorn in their flesh. We understand that. You could have served that opinion in a better way.

PCB is trying its level best that series should go ahead as they are forecasting an income (PKR 3 Billion) that why they got the PM approval in a hurry but they forget in that hurry the BCP should also show that keenness which is not there yet and also not might come as they are doing mockery with our seasoned diplomat chairman. Is play with India is so important for PCB and survival of Pakistan cricket? definitely No. There is simply need for PC

I always agreed with Miandad that we should not play T20 with India because India's haughty attitude. I have now changed my position. We should not play with India so that they do not make monkeys out of us. Look what are we doing playing with England.
