whatever his bad qualities. His good work over weighs the bad and he deserves the award. He has contributed alot to cricket, From developing players to holding an event and inviting foreign players to come and play. The man is a legend and had done more than any person here commenting for pak. So dont hate, Go live your sad lives in peace.
Why we donot recognize a person during his life; so sad
No disrespect to the late doctor but are these enough reasons to award such an award?
