Karachi, August 14: Pakistan coach Intikhab Alam and all-rounder Shahid Afridi hailed former captain Javed Miandad’s appointment as the batting consultant of the side, saying it would help the batsmen finetune their craft before the Champions Trophy.
“Given Miandad’s experience he will be very useful to the team specially the younger players,” Alam said.
Afridi, who led Pakistan in the one-off Twenty20 International in Sri Lanka, echoed Alam’s view and said, “It is a decision of the board. Miandad is a great player and we can learn a lot from him. His induction should be beneficial to the team.”
The Pakistan cricket team returned home from a disappointing tour of Sri Lanka last night and coach Intikhab Alam made it clear he would not hesitate to step down if he felt he couldn’t contribute to the team.
“I am working hard with this team and I have produced results.
