Lahore, Aug.25 (ANI): Disappointed over being sacked suddenly from the post of assistant coach of the national team, former Pakistan fast bowler Aaquib Javed has still not resumed his charge at the National Cricket Academy (NCA).

“Aaqib is unhappy at the treatment meted out to him by the board and will be meeting with the board chairman Ijaz Butt later this week to discuss his future in the board,” a PCB official said.

While Javed is reportedly miffed at PCB’s sudden decision to remove him, sources said the board has not given him the required letter transferring him back to NCA as head coach.

“Obviously without board directives in writing Aaqib can’t do anything,” The Daily Times quoted sources, as saying.

The PCB axed Javed last week over Pakistan’s poor performance during the Sri Lanka series.

Sources said his ouster came due to negative reports about him filed by Intikhab Alam, who felt Javed was getting too involved with some of the senior players.

Captain Younis Khan is also said to be unhappy with Javed’s presence in the team.

Javed has been replaced by Mohtashim Rasheed, younger brother of the former Test batsman, Haroon Rasheed.

Rashid is currently serving as Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Director of Game Development.When enquired about Javed’s sacking, PCB chief Ijaz Butt said he has ‘better plans’ for the former fast bowler. (ANI)
