Senators summon Shaharyar, Ramiz

Published July 13, 2004

ISLAMABAD, July 12: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials are in for a new round of grilling after the Senate Standing Committee on Sports, Culture and Women Affairs announced it had summoned them on July 19.

Chairman of the committee, senator Zafar Iqbal Chaudhry told Dawn that the head of the PCB, Shaharyar M. Khan, chief executive Ramiz Raja and chief selector Wasim Bari have been asked to attend the meeting in Islamabad.

"We will also be asking coach Javed Miandad and captain Inzamamul Haq to appear before the committee," Zafar said. The meeting is a follow-up to the one held on May 29 in which the cricket managers were questioned on matters relating to running of the PCB and Pakistan's series defeat to India at home.

This month's meeting is being convened following a requisition made by senators Muhammad Enver Baig, Sayed Murad Ali Shah and Dr. Kauser Firdaus.
