“He has been given a special assignment for a short period before the start of the World Cup,” a Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman said.
Former Pakistan coach Miandad, 55, will not interfere with the work of current boss Dav Whatmore for the September 18-October 7 tournament but will instead concentrate on any individual batting niggles following a series of recent collapses.

Shoib Malik should not be part of pakistan team .His performance is hopeless and disappointing
Recommend
Janab Javed Miandad Saab can really assist Pakistani batsmen before World T20. Being a father in law of daughter Janab Daud Ibrahim, he knows the best. Janab Javed Miandad Saab, I am sincerely thanking you in anticipation for cleaning the cricket via your vital personal ties to a King of Cricket Corruption.

Miandad is no doubt a batting great! but he cannot and should not function as a coach. The board’s insistence on constantly making positions for him is not digestible. Politics in cricket !

Not Miandad, only people like Imran Khan can do some magic. This team is dead like never been.
