The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has issued show cause notices to Javed Miandad and Moin Khan for violation of the code of conduct.

Miandad faces disciplinary action for his statement on the performance of the Pakistan team. Moin lashed out at the PCB for ignoring him during the tour to New Zealand.

Interestingly, Inzamam-ul-Haq has not been asked to explain his position on a statement in which he suggested to the board how to pick players in the team.

"According to the contract between the players and the establishment (PCB), the cricketers are not supposed to give controversial statement upto six months after the conclusion of the series," the PCB spokesman said.

The PCB also spelled out its policy of investigating Pakistan's poor performance in New Zealand.

He said it would be an internal inquiry with members comprising PCB officials. "There will be no committee members from outside. The analysis will be done after going through the reports of manager and the coach."

The spokesman added that the PCB has not received any summons from the Lahore High Court for April 28.

Justice Malik Mohammad Qayyum, who investigated the charges of corruption in Pakistan cricket, has ordered Miandad to substantiate his allegations that the players deliberately threw matches in New Zealand.

Miandad vehemently denies giving the statement though he admits that he called for an inquiry to probe why the players under-performed while he was coach.

Miandad made the call three days after he was removed as Pakistan coach after having been initially given the assignment until the 2003 World Cup.
