Miandad spurns apology

Published October 28, 2003

LAHORE, Oct 27: Pakistan coach Javed Miandad has said as he had reported the case of breach of indiscipline incurred by Saqlain Mushtaq to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and would not accept an apology from the off-spinner.

Miandad had reported to PCB Saqlain had used abusive language against him, alleging the coach was instrumental in being left out of the two Test series against South Africa.

Miandad said Saqlain had called him twice to apologize for his behaviour, but now it was upto the PCB disciplinary committee to take a decision.

Miandad claimed that he had repeatedly clarified it that he had no say in the selection of the team as it was purely the task of the selectors, but even then he was facing the wrath of the omitted players.

PCB disciplinary committee headed by Justice (retd) Ameer Alam will hear the case.
