Former Pakistan wicketkeeper Rashid Latif has issued a legal notice to former Pakistan cricketer turned journalist, PJ Mir, for his defamatory statements against him and Javed Miandad. A notice has been sent seeking an apology within 14 days, failing which Mir will have to pay Rs 1 Billion for damaging the reputation of the former cricketer.

Latif took to X and wrote, “I never slapped or even raised my voice in front of legendary Javed Miandad. Javed bhai is not only a legend of Cricket (an ICC Hall of Famer), he is a national hero and pride of Pakistan. I was honored to debut for Pakistan under his captaincy. He is an institution of Cricket and I have learnt a lot from him. I respect him like a father. Through my attorney, I have served a legal notice to Mr PJ Mir to tender unconditional apology and appropriate retraction within 14 days, pertaining to frivolous comments passed about me and Javed bhai. @Javed__Miandad @umairkaz.”
