Lawson to go legally against PCB

Sacked Pakistan coach Geoff Lawson is seeking legal advice over a pay dispute, sources in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Sunday. PCB director genaral Altaf said that Lawson returned the cheque given to him as he was unhappy with the $$$ paid.

Lawson was due three months' pay as compensation for the early termination of his contract and Altaf said this obligation had been met.Lawson's contract was terminated by the Pakistan board on Friday with nine months remaining of his two-year contract.

Sources in the board told that Lawson had told the PCB that he was in touch with the Australian high commission for legal advice and that he would not leave Pakistan until the matter was settled.

The PCB has appointed former test player Intikhab Alam as coach for next month's one-day series against West Indies in Abu Dhabi and also offered him a two-year contract that has to first be ratified by the governing body
