Miandad, who played 124 Tests and 233 ODIs for Pakistan, also said that it is an honour for him to be related to Dawood and that Don's son married his daughter.

The wedding between Dawood's daughter Mahrukh Ibrahim and Miandad's son Junaid took place in Karachi in 2006. It was reported that even Dawood was not present at the wedding venue to avoid gettting clicked by camerapersons. He is wanted in India in relation with 1993 Mumbai blasts which killed over 250 people. 

Dawood is said to be the brain behind several terrorist attack on the Indian soil as well. Miandad has rarely spoken about his son's marriage with Dawood's daughter.

Miandad also started a dreaded crime organisation called D-company, which is still active. His name is still t here in Interpol's list of most wanted criminals in he world who are involved in organised crime and counterfeiting.

"I know him for a long time... from Dubai. It's an honour for me that his daughter married my son. She is very well-educated, and studied at a convent and university," said Miandad, while speaking on Pakistani journalist Hassan Nisar's YouTube channel.

"He (Dawood) has done a lot for Muslims. It will be remembered for long," he added. This statement is quite shocking knowing how Dawood's involvement in ruining and killing many lives. Born in India, Dawood is allegedly still hidden in Pakistan. The statement reflects poorly on Pakistan as well. For years, the terrorism-hit country is trying to wash off its image as the nation which sponsors terrorist activities. Miandad's affection for a most wanted criminal who is mastermind of several terrorist attacks makes Pakistan look bad on international stage. 

Miandad was born in Karachi on June 12, 1957 and made his debut for Pakistan in international cricket in  Birmingham on June 11, 1975. He went on to play 124 Tests, scoring 8832 runs at an average of 52.57, hitting 23 tons in the process. He also played in 233 ODIs, hitting 7381 runs.

Imran was also had something to say on his former teammated and ex-Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan. Miandad said while Imran was of helpful nature, he did not like listening to the others' point of view or suggestions.

"Imran Khan's bad habit is that he did not listen to anyone and forced what he believed is right onto others. He just did not agree that someone else could be right too," said Miandad.
