Javed job not under threat
LAHORE: Contrary to reports in the local
Media, coach Javed Miandad’s contract isn’t going to be reviewed by
the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) at the end of the India series.
“Strictly speaking, Javed hasn’t completed even one of the two years
of his contract. At the moment, there’s no question of reviewing
it,” PCB chief executive Rameez Raja said.
He added: “Obviously, a lot of things will be reviewed at the end of
this series, but not what has been reported... In fact, as far as I
know, manager Haroon Rashid’s contract won’t be reviewed either.”
Both Miandad and Rashid, one-time teammates, got the job after a
disastrous World Cup 2003 campaign. This isn’t innings No. 1 for
either of them.
Meanwhile, Rameez confirmed that former captain Waqar Younis has
finally decided to quit. “We’ve assured a fitting farewell, possibly
involving a lunch or dinner... But, if he wants to make the
announcement during this Test itself, time is short,” he said.
Waqar, among the all-time greats, hasn’t been picked after the last
World Cup. Incidentally, he was Pakistan’s captain in that 2003
edition.
