ISLAMABAD, July 14: Senator Muhammad Enver Baig on Wednesday warned the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) officials that they were in for a bumpy ride if they did not fully cooperate with the Senate Standing Committee on Sports.

"They are not cooperating with us and we have evidence that they have not been telling the truth," Enver told Dawn ahead of the July 19 meeting in which top PCB officials have been summoned.

The meeting in Islamabad is a follow-up to the one held on May 29 as the senators continue their probe into the affairs of PCB and the first ever home series defeat to India.

"I would advise the PCB officials to start cooperating with the committee otherwise they would only themselves be responsible for the consequences." The vocal Enver, whose sizzling questions in the first meeting put PCB chairman Shahryar M. Khan and chief executive Ramiz Raja in a tight spot, said that the committee felt a lot of wrong was being done within the Board.

"Gross irregularities are being committed and once our probe is completed, we would not hesitate to send anyone who is found guilty to NAB or to jail." He felt that PCB would continue to be milked by the officials running it unless and until ad hocism did not end."

Everything is suspended and one man is making all the decisions; with Rs 150 crore in their kitty and no accountability, what does one expect." The committee is likely to conclude its inquiry on July 19 and if the need arises, there will be a third meeting in Karachi.

The findings of the inquiry will be made public. "We are responsible to the people of Pakistan and have been asking the PCB officials questions that are of public interest."

Enver said that people had been appreciative of their efforts. "We have been receiving a lot of telephone calls and e- mails from the concerned public." The committee, which is headed by Senator Zafar Iqbal Chaudhry, has also asked coach Javed Miandad to attend Monday's meeting.

"If there's a need for a third meeting, more former cricketers will be invited." Enver however refrained from predicting the outcome of the inquiry. "It will be premature to say who will be hanged and who is going to go to jail but we will give recommendations and whatever the conclusions, these will be based on facts."
