Karachi, Jan. 29 : Javed Miandad, who quit from the post of Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) Director General on Tuesday, has said that he resigned from the post because of the job description devised for him by the PCB authorities, which did not provide him enough opportunity to work for the promotion of national cricket.

Seemingly upset by the behaviour of the top PCB officials Miandad said : "I was hurt to know that as Director General, my role would be to look after domestic cricket and help develop the grounds."

Due to a limited role offered in PCB, former test captain Javed Miandad quit as director general of the Pakistan Cricket Board on Wednesday.

Miandad informed, "I have tendered my resignation to the chairman PCB because I was only confined to look after affairs of domestic cricket and was never consulted in other cricketing affairs."

Back in November, Miandad was appointed by incoming PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt.

Lahore, Jan. 28 : Former Pakistan cricket captain Javed Miandad on Wednesday said that he resigned from the post of Director-General of the Pakistan Cricket Board because he was restricted only to domestic cricket which was not acceptable to him.

Miandad said that his resignation is not linked with the board's decision of changing the captain of the national team.

He said that he had not signed any agreement with the PCB, but was working selflessly for cricket and did not take any penny from the board.

Islamabad - Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari called on the new US administration of President Barack Obama Wednesday to increase its military and development aid to fight Islamic militants.
