Former India Coach Slams Javed Miandad For Controversial Remarks On Imran Khan

Former India coach and cricketer Madan Lal has slammed Pakistan legend Javed Miandad, saying that the latter is mentally unstable. Madan Lal’s comments have come in the wake of Miandad’s recent controversial remarks against former Pakistan captain and present Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Miandad had accused Imran Khan of ruining the state of affairs of cricket in Pakistan by favouring foreigners over countrymen for several key positions in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). Miandad was indirectly referring to Wasim Khan, the CEO of PCB, and someone who was born and brought up in England.

Miandad wasn’t happy that Imran appointed Wasim for an influential position in the country’s cricket board. However, the choice of words from Miandad have not impressed Madan Lal. The former India allrounder, who is presently a member of BCCI’s Cricket Advisory Committee, feels ‘lack of education’ is visible in the way Miandad has spoken.

“Whatever he is talking, doesn’t make sense, shows how much educated he is. He had previously made a remark on Kashmir as well as about our Prime Minister. Don’t you think he is a bit unstable?,” Madan Lal said on Sports Tak.

Javed Miandad’s comments:

Javed Miandad was highly critical of the way the PCB is being run at the moment. And he blamed Imran Khan for the same. He was particularly critical of the ‘foreigner’ working in the cricket board.

“All officials in the PCB do not know the ABC of the sport. I will talk to Imran Khan personally about the sad state of affairs. I will not leave anyone that is not right for our country,” Miandad said on his official YouTube channel.

“You appointed a foreigner on a key position. What will happen when he flees the country after doing corruption? Is there a shortage of people in your own country that you had to bring people from abroad to work in the PCB?” he added.

Miandad went on to slam Imran Khan further, stating that his former teammate acts like God now. He also claimed that Imran went to his home and ‘came out as a Prime Minister’.

“I was your captain; you weren’t my captain. I’ll come to politics and then I’ll talk to you. I was the one who led you all the time, but you act like God now. It is almost like you’re the only intelligent person in this country as if no one has gone to Oxford or Cambridge or any other university in Pakistan. Think about the people,” said Miandad.
