Karachi, July 4 (Inditop.com) Former Pakistan chief selector Abdul Qadir is preparing ammunition for his July 14 meeting with a parliamentary committee and says he will candidly inform the Members of the National Assembly (MNA) about the irregularities in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Qadir, a former Pakistan Test leg-spinner, said that he would also try to meet President Asif Ali Zardari, who is also the chief patron of the PCB, as he wants to inform him about all the problems in the board.
Qadir was left seething after he was forced to step down as Pakistan’s chief selector during last month’s ICC World Twenty20 Championship in England because of differences with PCB chairman Ijaz Butt as well as the national team management.
It was because of his surprise decision to quit as chief selector, that the National Assembly’s Standing Committee on Sports summoned him for a hearing July 14 in Islamabad.
The committee will also discuss other issues including the dissolution of the national senior and junior selection committees by the PCB as well as the performance of the top board officials.
Qadir has been highly critical of the PCB management following his resignation and is giving non-stop interviews to newspapers and TV channels in a bid to expose the problems which he believes are ruining Pakistan cricket.
In one of his latest outbursts, Qadir claimed that Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam and manager Yawar Saeed are incompetent officials, who are taking the national team towards a complete disaster.
