Miandad returns to PCB

Javed Miandad says he is happy to return and that "everything is settled"

Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad has been reinstated as the director general of the Pakistan Cricket Board following a dispute.

Miandad was appointed director general of the PCB in November last year, but quit a day after receiving a formal contract in January.

Miandad had said the reason he quit was because the scope of his powers had been severely scaled down in his written contract.

Following a meeting with PCB chairman Ijaz Butt today, Miandad was reinstated.

“It was a very cordial meeting and he is back as director general,” Butt said.

“The good thing is that he is back with us and that’s a positive development for Pakistan cricket,” he said.

Pakistan media had reported Miandad quit because of an issue over salary. Miandad, however, denied those reports.

“Everything is settled and I am happy to be back with the cricket board,” Miandad said.

“Salary was never an issue. I just want to work for the betterment of Pakistan cricket.”
