Karachi, Mar. 30 : Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad has claimed that he has been re-appointed as the Director General (DG) of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

According to The News, Miandad himself announced his reinstatement to the post. There has been no official confirmation on the report.

Earlier, while resigning from the post, Miandad had said that he was quitting because the job description did not fit with his idea of what it should be.

"I was hurt to know that as Director General, my role would be to look after domestic cricket and help develop the grounds. The PCB can appoint a manager to perform those roles, they don't need me," Miandad had said then.

The whole controversy followed the sacking of Shoaib Malik.

Irked by Malik's sudden dismissal, Miandad submitted his resignation.

Sources then claimed that Miandad resigned over a pay dispute with the PCB. (ANI)
