Madan Lal lashes out at Javed Miandad for his controversial remarks against Imran Khan

Former Indian cricketer Madan Lal has hit out at the Pakistan legendary batsman Javed Miandad for his outburst against Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Javed Miandad had on Wednesday said that he was the captain of current Prime Minister Imran Khan and will join politics to "challenge" him. He had also said that he would join politics and tell people what real politics is all about.

Speaking to Sports Tak, Madan Lal said, "Whatever he is talking, doesn't make sense, it shows how educated he is. He had previously made a remark on Kashmir as well as our Prime Minister. I feel he is a bit mentally unstable."

Earlier, speaking on his YouTube channel, Javed Miandad had said that he was the driving force for Khan, also a former captain, in cricket.

"Not only in the affairs of sports, I will also challenge him (Khan) in the field of politics. Imran should remember I was his captain," he said in an angry tone.

'KHAN HAS LOST HIS WAY'

The former captain claimed that he made Khan the prime minister, and went on to say that Khan lost his way and was not running the country properly. He said Khan's appointments in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) were questionable.

Miandad said Pakistani people were capable of managing the PCB and the practice of hiring people from abroad should stop.

"Please do not bring people from abroad to manage our cricket. Look for deserving people in Pakistan. Believe in people of Pakistan," he said.

He spoke about the new regional cricket system and also said the treatment of former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was not right.

Miandad, a member of the 1992 World Cup-winning side, was the backbone of the then Pakistan team and is remembered for many memorable innings.
