Imran insisted it was because he didn't believe in records, but it never really sat well with Miandad, who dedicated an entire chapter of his autobiography on this incident.
To Imran's credit, he is the only captain to declare with himself being in the 90s, I guess he didnt believe in personal milestones.

Interesting, had never heard of that before.
Strange because Imran is and always has been thought of as being such a superb man-manager of exactly people like Javed.
