Former Pakistan skipper Javed Miandad has slammed the newly-appointed Inzamam-ul-Haq led national selection committee by describing it as a 'one-man show'. Inzamam was appointed as the Pakistan chief selector in a major overhaul of the team after Haroon Rasheed-led committee was sacked by the country's cricket board following the team's dismal World T20 performance in India. 46-year-old Inzamam had shortlisted former cricketers Tauseef Ahmed, Wasim Haider and Wajahatullah Wasti as a part of the new selection panel. According to Miandad, Inzamam has roped in all the yes men in his committee, the Dawn reports.

Former Pakistan skipper Javed Miandad has refused to attend meetings of the fact-finding committee of the Cricket Board to probe into the national team's poor performance in the Asia Cup and World T20. "Every time we do badly in a big tournament, the board carries out this charade of appointing a probe committee," Miandad told PTI. "Why should I go running to attend their meetings on a call from a secretary. I have already said what I had to say in the media. First and foremost the top people in the board should step down," he added. Miandad, who has been extremely critical of the state of affairs in Pakistan cricket and the team's dismal show, said nothing comes out of such inquiries.
