"I am seriously thinking about contesting the elections because I think I know the affairs of the board well enough now and, given my cricketing background, I can do good for Pakistan cricket," Miandad was quoted as saying.
The board is currently working under interim Chairman Najam Sethi who was appointed by the government after a court declared Zaka Ashraf’s appointment to be illegal.
Speaking on the issue of appointing a new chairman, Miandad said: "I know I can give back a lot to Pakistan cricket and after some feedback from my supporters and friends, I have realised this is only possible by running for the chairman's post.”
"What encourages me is that I have received overwhelming support from various quarters to contest the elections whenever they are held," the former cricketer added.
Miandad said that he would make a final decision once the ambiguity over the mechanism of PCB chairman's election becomes clear.
Elections
Acting chairman Sethi had been sent packing and brought back a few times for failing to hold elections in 90 days as ordered by the court.
Recently, the Islamabad High Court restored him as the board chairman till November 7.

He can only do that if he resigns from the current position in PCB, only if he had studied the constitution
He will not be allowed to tour with the Pak team in India.
@Wasim I. Malik: He was a great batsman and a brilliant fighter in his cricket days. He's however, certainly not a suitable person for the PCB chief as his management and communication skills are sub-standard. He showed that during his captaincy of Pakistan team. We need someone who can express his views at the highest level in the International arena with the utmost authority and confidence. It'll be a shame if somehow Miandad manage to become the PCB Chairman. I can not understand he managed to secure his current position of some kind of a Director within PCB, earning huge bucks. Surely not on his skills in admin and management. Another case of nepotism indeed!!!!
Daud Ibrahim would put all his influences/money to get Javed Miandad elected/selected as Chairman - Pakistan Cricket Board.
Lots of shingle dhouble.. I hear"
He's got the best cricketing mind in the country
If the co-father-in-law of Dawood Ibrahim is made the PCB chief, expect more snub from BCCI.
BCCI will do everything to further isolate PCB through ICC.
Even though I hate BCCI, I would support their bullying in this regard.
