"If I had the authority, I would sack all those players who regularly violated the clauses of their central contracts by giving unnecessary statements that only damage the image of Pakistan cricket," Miandad said.

"If I had my way I would drop them from the team and select new players because as it is this team is not winning us any matches in Australia," he added.

The former great said the players lacked the application to do well in Test cricket.

"Twenty20 has clearly damaged our cricket. When it first started, I had warned that it would damage us the most because already we have a weak domestic system to groom our players," the former Pakistan coach said.

He said Pakistani players lacked the discipline and temperament to play long innings in Test matches
