LAHORE: Secretary Lahore City Cricket Association (LCCA),Mian Javed Ali has been served another notice for violating PCB conduct of holder of office rules and code of conduct for members of PCB general body as Pakistan Cricket Board was not satisfied with his reply of the show cause notice.
"Javed's reply is not satisfactory. PCB authorities believe that he twisted and concealed the facts in his reply. He has been given a week's time to submit detailed reply after which the case will be decided", said sources in PCB here on Wednesday.
Javed was issued a show cause notice on September 27 for his out-burst against President, LCCA, Khawaja Nadim Ahmed and working of the LCCA on a TV show which forced PCB to take notice of the situation and to come up with a disciplinary measure.
The fresh notice says that Javed, in his reply submitted on October 23, narrated that he did not make any negative statement against the working of LCCA and its President whereas in the notice fifteen points regarding his comments on the TV show have been raised and their explanation has been sought from him.
"It is a serious issue and the aim of implementing the code of conduct on the office bearers of the regional bodies is to ensure trouble-free working of these bodies".
The sources said that PCB is taking the matter seriously as regional bodies operate under its jurisdiction. They dispelled the impression that issuing another notice to Javed was aiming to extend him any favour or to adopt delaying tactics to linger on the issue.
"There is nothing such going on and PCB will be deciding this issue on merit and that is why Javed has been issued another notice to answer certain queries so as to conclude the matter as early as possible", they said.
They also clarified that no official of the PCB was in league with Javed to give him assurance that he will escape the disciplinary. KCCA Secretary Ijaz Farooqi was banned for indefinite time period for a similar offence and he remained under one full year ban, sources concluded.
