Former Pakistan cricket captain Javed Miandad has demanded the execution of cricketers and bookies involved in fixing, saying that he quit coaching in 1999 due to indications of match-fixing in the team.

Talking to media, former great batsman Javed Miandad said that Prime Minister Imran Khan should make a law and execute the players involved in fixing and execute the players as well as the bookies.

He said that a law should be made so that no cricketer has the courage to do fixing. Until such people are punished, the players will continue to do spot-fixing and match-fixing.

Javed Miandad said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has played cricket so the Prime Minister should take strict action because guilty cricketers in Pakistan escape due to weak laws.

The former captain said that Saleem Malik, Atta-ur-Rehman and other players sold the country for some money.

He said that the players involved in fixing have hurt the feelings of his family and fans with the country. Former cricketer Ata-ur-Rehman is crying today saying that he was trapped.

He said that Atta-ur-Rehman was lured into corruption at that time and now he regrets it.

The former batsman, who served as national team coach after retiring from cricket, said: "I quit coaching in 1999 because I knew there was a fixing going on."

He said that Justice Qayyum told the commission everything related to fixing but the players escaped. The cricketers who were asked by the Justice Qayyum Commission to stay away from the PCB are still attached to the cricket board.

It may be recalled that Javed Miandad was coaching the Pakistan team that played the World Cup in 1999 under the leadership of Wasim Akram in which the national team reached the final.

The national team made it to the finals in the 1999 World Cup, but lost dramatically to Australia in the final, Javed Miandad resigned as coach during the World Cup.

Total rubbish because Javed took the coaching job at least another two times afterwards. Where were his morals then ?
 
Lies and nothing but lies. Miandad quit coaching after the sharjah cup, just before world cup, because he fought with several players that he should get the prize money share from that cup, including a car from Shoaib Akhtar's prize win. I remember in 1999 this news got leaked all around. We all know how greedy Miandad is. It sums up perfectly.

This "verbal diarrhoea" needs to stop immediately. The PCB needs to employ it's legal department in sending defamation notices to all these uneducated ex-cricketers who are doing this just for the sake of YouTube views which will in turn results in $$ without even considering its negative impact on the image and reputation of PCB which is trying extremely hard to get cricket back to Pakistan.

If this slandering doesn't stop it will the chances of ACB and/or ECB touring Pakistan in near future as well as it will impact the broadcasting rights deal which will be expiring next year. Why would any organisation sponsor a board trying to cover up any fixers/ criminals? (Not my opinion).

Shoaib Akhtar's YouTube channel into a nightmare for the PCB. His way of getting views by demeaning his own board, critising and bad mouthing his ex colleagues, praising anything remotely associated with the BCCI , constant narcissism, playing victimhood has turned into a working BLUEPRINT for these JOBLESS Pakistani cricketers running their own YouTube channel.

Every youtuber now knows that they can get views by critising the PCB and simultaneously praising the BCCI. People want to make the most of the fixing saga by making a video or giving a statement on this hot trending topic (just like Danish Kaneria came up with his minority card on YouTube after Shoaib's statement), but if they are asked to give proofs or asked to record a statement in a court of law no one would turn up just like what had happened in the past.

Observation:-
Pakistan cricket's perennial problem illiteracy among the cricketers strikes back again. When they are a part of the same team they would constantly try to put each other down, now they are repeating the same thing in a more open manner. These illiterate blokes have got a magic lamp (YouTube) but cannot properly use it, I don't find a single meaningful videos related to motivation, cricketing ethics, techniques and fault on their channel all they know is jealousy, hatered and it shows.

They talk about PCB not employing them for their services, my question is are they employable at all? What qualities do they have apart form runs scored and wickets taken, NONE! No professional organisation will hire any employee just need on their core technical skills, they need a lot more attributes along with core skills, heck, now a days private organisations have started taking Psychometric test along with skill based interviews. Will any Pakistani ex cricketer clear a Psychometric test, or the bigger question is any Pakistani cricketer even aware of what a Psychometric test is?

Hoping PCB take a stand against these vile cricketers.

-A fan.
 
At the time in 1999, the grapevine was that Miandad got into a fight with the players in the dressing room after the England game. Apparently Miandad received a phone call from Dawood Ibrahim that he had successfully enticed the Pakistani players to fix that game and Miandad went mad in the dressing room and it was turning very nasty when Moin Khan picked up his bat and went charging at Miandad only to be stopped by his fellow players.

After that tournament Miandad demanded absolute powers to select the captain, the squad, the playing eleven along with a massive increase in salary and when his demands were turned down, he chose to resign. None of the players at the time or the then captain Wasim Akram, the then Vice Captain Moin Khan took a stand to reinstate Miandad as coach which explains a lot.

Aren't they family?
 
If fixing is not widespread right now then what's the point of all ex-Pakistnai players bringing up fixing of 90s?

If they had spoken strongly in 90s then Amir wouldn't have happened and PCB/fans would have been less tolerant of fixing.
 
Total rubbish because Javed took the coaching job at least another two times afterwards. Where were his morals then ?

All these ex-cricketers have a screw loose, they're extremely bitter and jealous, and always looking to milk the PCB for $$$s.

Lockdown is also taking its toll.

You're our resident conspiracy theory expert.

I do enjoy reading these posts, a good source of entertainment during the lockdown.
 
This is the guy who married his daughter to the son of Dawood Ibrahim, and he has the nerve to talk about corruption.

Haha true. He is blatantly lying, if he said this in his youtube channel he's obviously looking for views to get paid as he is rubbish when creating content.
 
No smoke without fire. We all know who the captain was in 1999.

Wasim must be feeling very uncomfortable at the moment but if there was no proof then there's probably no proof now and he's got nothing to worry about.

This whole 90's fixing thing will blow over soon unless anyone can present solid evidence against Wasim or others. Danish Kaneria couldn't bring any when he made his scandal and now no-one cares about him. Same will happen with this saga.

Awkward situation to refuse a Rishta coming straight from Don Daud Ibrahim’s house...

Lol, Wasim's silence is damning in this whole saga. Its as if he is desperately trying to avoid commenting on the issue because he wants people to forget about it. All reporters who have tried to get in touch him have been treated to "No comments". Which self respecting person will refuse to comment on allegations against him? Why is he refusing to even file defamation or lawsuits? An honest person would have shown some form of reaction at this point but sorry to say Wasim keeps on behaving and acting like a guilty individual.

This is weird logic.

He said fixing was going on in Pakistan team of the time. If he came later what’s the big deal

I like this sensationalism.

The masala.

Love it.

A person of the stature of Wasim, an international star and a cricket hall of fame-r, would not stoop so low to comment on these petty comments.

Because, even he knows it's not a new thing. Every other month some ex-cricketer throws a random comment in some random masala TV show and cook up conspiracies.

You're acting as if this drama is happening for the first time.
 
If anyone knew about match fixing it would have been javed miandad
It's just a shame he didn't report advances to the icc

Javed Miandad is someone who accused even Shahid Afridi of fixing. He is not better than a troll who abuses people on internet and thus he must not be given any importance.

Wasim along with Afridi,Waqar and Rameez who have somewhat of a profile at international level. Rest of the Pakistani players are jokers who do not have any clue what they are talking about.
 
More one goes through the comments of the players, and more one realizes that how reintegrating Amir was a big mistake and how right were Azhar and Hafeez at the first place. If you compare the first half of this decade to the last six years, the number of players who have not reported the fixing approach have increased. And that correlates with how Amir was allowed and rules were amended to allow him to play. We all know how that turned out.
Even past cricketers, Amir Sohail, Miandad and Saleem Malik have started giving statements to media. The worst offender is Shoaib Akhtar, i have read his book and he has not spared anyone of his team mates. He openly criticized Wasim in his book but had no issues hosting a game show with him. He poked fun at Pakistan's player in India. And every fourth day he is in news because he understands the psyche of our people.

It's a similar strategy to a no-comment interview at a police station. Yeah you look guilty. But if there's not enough evidence to prove it you can be absolutely sure you'll get off scot-free.

If Wasim was truly innocent he'd probably have opened his own Youtube channel by now and responded.
 
The lockdown and lack of cricket has been an embarrassing and humiliating time for a number of ex-Pakistani cricketers.

They seem incapable of keeping their mouth shuts and not making fool out of themselves.

Let's take Miandad as an example here.

His team was anhilated in one of - if not the most - one sided WC Final ever and the writing was on the wall for him and a number of players after a pathetic performance. You would suspect that this isn't something that he would like people to remember.

Instead 21 years later he is running his mouth with baseless accusations and is still incapable of doing the right thing.

If you have the proof of wrong doing you should have gone to the ICC 21 years ago.

If you didn't have the balls to do it back then - do it now.

If you cant do it now - or more likely have no proof for what you are saying - the least you can do is stop running your mouth and making a mockery out of yourself and Pakistani cricket.

Miandad was not coach for 1999 WC...

Please do some basic research before rants.

Miandad wasn't the coach in the 99 WC, Richard Pybus was.

He never had any proofs at the first place. And lot of crickets from past, the players who he coached never had anything positive to say about him. Even Waqar Younis had players who like him but never for Miandad. Shoaib Akhtar and Shahid Afridi hated this guy to the core. Wasim Akram never mentions him whereas Imran Khan is the one who gets the most respect among his contemporaries.
For 1999 World Cup, we were beaten by the better team who peaked at the right time, . Remember how he accused Afridi of fixing and never came up with any proof. And when Afridi accused him of court case, he went running away.

Wasim Akram has an IPL contract, has international commentary gigs and is the most respected Pakistani cricketer. These losers cannot even tie the shoelaces of Wasim Akram. He does not need to make a Youtube channel and make a fool out of himself.
 
This happened after the 2nd match against England I suppose. Just like the BD match in 1999, it's difficult to say whether it was actually fixed or not. The pitches had gotten slower throughout that tournament after starting off as belters (ijaz blasted 137 against the same attack and moin was hitting effortless sixes in the first match)

It was played with a white dukes ball and Pakistan batted under lights . The ball swung in the air and came slowly off the deck . Those were not easy conditions to bat that too against irritating trundlers like ealham and Fraser.

India collapsed in the final too when Wasim cut down his pace and swung the new ball and destroyed our top order.
Going by some of the accusations here, every batting collapse by Pakistan in those days was because of a fix. That simply is not plausible .

Yes, our awaam and these illiterate ex-cricketers have only one explanation for losses. Fixing.

Especially the matches where they get hurt. E.g., Ajmal LBW SRT, and the Hawkeye fiasco, where everyone still claims it was "fixed" or rather "doctored".

These are all rubbish conspiracy theories and come from these illiterates who can only explain things using one excuse, which is fixing.

All of them shout fixing fixing for any player they don't like or where PAK loses.

Collapse happens for many other teams as well and yah it happens more freqently for Pakistan, but it can not be fixing in all cases. It's just seems unlikely.

The reason that these fixing headlines make lot of news is that there is lot of sensationalism added to it. Look at the Youtube channels of every Pakistani cricketer, it is either about India, or how they have exposed the fixing racket in Pakistani cricket.
Just goes to show the attention span of our people. We are swooned by catchy headlines and pomposity rather than accepting that we are mediocre.

Yeah that Ajmal thing, it has been a decade since that decision was overturned, and still Ajmal rave about it. Whereas world and India has moved on.

Apologies - I assumed the OP to be a credible source of information :)

My mistake :inzi

Thank you for your valued feedback :)

However - do you have any comments to make on what my post - which you deemed to be a rant - fundamentally says?

Do you not think it is idiotic for JM to make these comments 21 years later with no proof to back up his claims?

FYI - according to the below sources Mushtaq Mohammad was Pakistan's coach during the 99 World Cup

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Cricket_World_Cup_squads

April 1999: Miandad resigns over differences with the players following a tournament in Sharjah despite a successful tour of India.

Mushtaq Mohammad is brought in as coach two weeks before the World Cup in England where Pakistan reach the final but lose to Australia

https://www.google.com/amp/s/uk.mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUKL1676497120070716

Turns out Richard Pybus was the assistant coach during the WC and wasn't made head coach till after the WC, later in the year in Nov 1999

May want to heed your own advice about doing "some basic research" before posting :)

Well it seems strange Javed is demanding fixers be "hanged" for their offences and that he resigned to take a stand on corruption, but had no qualms about returning to coach those same tainted players.

Actually, Javed cited in his resignation letter he had "pressing family commitments". The contemporary reports also state Javed had a bustup with senior players after the 1999 Sharjah match v England.

In addition, it was reported:

But sources close to the former captain said he took the extreme decision after assessing that his position in the team had become tenuous after the appointment of Richard Pybus as technical coach and Sarfaraz Nawaz as fast bowlers coach.

So Javed couldn't work with others as usual and threw his toys out of the pram six days before the squad was to depart for England for the World Cup.

Mushtaq may have had the titie of the coach but Pybus was doing the coaching.
 
I must have missed the part where Miandad says he has reported all this to the ICC.

Lolz, we need to track back to the allegations that are being made by Miandad that how Afridi used to fix matches. Afridi took him to the cleaners and he had to apologize.

In his latest video:

"Some people say Wasim Akram was good, some say Waqar Younis was better and some say Shoaib Akhtar was excellent too but I say all three were top-class bowlers"

"Shoaib Akhtar was very fast - had pace and bounce but Wasim Akram was a clever bowler, he knew how best to bowl to any batsman"

"Waqar had a good yorker, and both Wasim and Waqar had the ability to hit the target with their yorkers 8 out of 10 times"

"Let me say to bowlers that if he is a good swing bowler then to bowl short should be an offensive idea to him"

"Batsmen were so worried about Waqar's yorkers that they used to get done even by his bouncers"

"When Shoaib Akhtar was bowling, the batsmen would be worryong about being hit on their head or their chest; To defend at your chest/face height against a bowler like Akhtar is not an easy task for any batsman"

"Everyone used ot find playing likes of Lillee and Thomson difficult but I used to find it easy"
 
"Fixing Iss Vajah Se Hui Thi": Javed Miandad's Huge Revelation On Pakistan Cricket

Pakistan lost to England by 5 wickets in the final match of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Sunday. While speaking after the game, former Pakistan skipper Javed Miandad questioned the presence of foreign coaches in the team. Miandad, who has also served as the coach of the Pakistan cricket team in the past, said that bringing foreign mentors or coaches in the team takes away the opportunity of former players to be a part of the national set-up.

He even went on to say that this mindset of Pakistan team management makes the future of their players insecure and that the same issue resulted in "fixing" in the past.

"Apne logon ko dekhein, apne logon ne jo cricket kheli hai... Ye jo players khel rahe hain, ab ye aaj khel rahe hain. Inka future kya hai? Unko bhi pata hai ki aaj maine kuch nahi kiya, toh kal main kya karunga? Fixing iss vajah se hui thi, ke hamara koi pata nahi hai, ki kal kaat naa de humko," said Javed Miandad on Cricket Pakistan.

Talking about the T20 World Cup final, Ben Stokes scored an unbeaten 52 off 49 balls to guide England to a 5-wicket win over Pakistan. Haris Rauf's 2 for 23 went in vain as England successfully chased down the 138-run target at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Earlier, Sam Curran returned with a spell of 3 for 12 and Adil Rashid picked 2 for 22 as England restricted Pakistan to 137 for 8. England skipper Jos Buttler had won the toss and opted to bowl first in the game.
