Miandad records in-camera statement

AGENCE FRANCE PRESSE  
KARACHI, AUG 23: Former Pakistani cricket captain and coach Javed Miandad today recorded an in-camera statement before a one-man judicial commission probing match-fixing allegations, court sources said.

The on-going inquiry by Lahore High Court judge Malik Mohammad Qayyum asked Miandad about reasons for his sudden resignation as National coach only three weeks before the World Cup in June.

``I was summoned and I told them about the reasons of my resignation but I can't disclose anything,'' Miandad said.

Miandad, 43, surprised the cricket world with his resignation just before the Seventh World Cup in England earlier this year.

He had cited family commitments as the reason for his decision but newspaper reports suggested he resigned after developing differences with some senior payers, including captain Wasim Akram.

The reports linked Miandad's exit to his row with players in Sharjah where Pakistan lost two matches against England and India in April.

The judge summoned vice-captain Moin Khan andother Test players Azhar Mahmood, Inzamam-ul-Haq and Shahid Afridi to the next hearing scheduled for September 3.

The four players have been summoned in the light of Miandad's ``important'' statement, sources said.

Leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed, batsman Ejaz Ahmed and counselor Akram and Salim Malik also appeared at today's hearing to cross examine former Test paceman Ata-ur-Rehman and former international player Salim Pervez, who did not turn up.

Rehman has alleged Akram offered him around $ 6,000 to bowl badly in a One-Day International in Christchurch in 1994.
