Miandad lashes out at Yousuf and Board PTI KARACHI, September 29: Former Pakistani great Javed Miandad on Saturday hit out at Mohammad Yousuf and Pakistan Cricket Board for making a mockery of the ICL commitment and sending a wrong message to the cricketing world. "How can they (Board) allow Yousuf to sign a contract in vague knowing he is already signed on by the ICL. Where is the fair play and veracity. What message are we giving out to the world about our players," Miandad said. Miandad said he did not believe that ICL would object if any Pakistani player was required for national duty unless the commitments did not clash with their league matches. "Once a Muslim gives his word leave alone sign a document he has to fulfil it regardless of the consequences. And even if Yousuf was keen on playing for Pakistan, while being contracted to the ICL, he should have informed the PCB." Under the ICL contract, players are required to make themselves available for 45 days in a season for cricket and other commercial activities pertaining to the league. He also said Yousuf by agreeing to drop his ICL contract had made the situation difficult for other Pakistani players contracted with the league. "Why should the PCB now bother about them."

Loyalty and integrity are two things you least expect from a player from Pakistan. ICL should have known. Miandad's questioning Yousuf's integrity and his commitment towards religion. That's quite a dramatic statement.

Miandad is right..Yousuf did the wrong thing..first signs with ICL then ends the contract...and he says he will do anything for Pakistan, why would he join ICL in the first place if thats the case.

[Guest Hiten.]

Why do they mix religion and cricket every efffing timeee :wall::wall:

"Once a Muslim gives his word leave alone sign a document he has to fulfil it regardless of the consequences. And even if Yousuf was keen on playing for Pakistan' date=' while being contracted to the ICL, he should have informed the PCB."

what exactly is he trying to say here ? is he conveying a message "only muslim players are loyal to the cricketing world and to their respective teams/country" ?? what the fark is wrong with these asswipes... why do they wanna make their religion self-centered in cricketing world :argh:

Who is Miandad to preach anything about integrity? Pak and India have the same problem - old players will say anything to be in the spotlight. Both countries should make the players sign a contract that stops them from talking to the media to qualify for any pension or cricket related positions.

Miandad is the last person to be talking about loyalty and integrity. He should have thought of those things before he gave his daughter to Dawood Ibrahim in wedding...
