Miandad ready for job

Published March 26, 2003

LAHORE, March 25: The newly appointed Pakistan cricket coach, former Test captain Javed Miandad, has dispelled the impression that he feels relaxed now that most of the senior players have been omitted from the squad for next month’s Sharjah Cup because of their poor performance in the World Cup.

Speaking to the media at Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday, Miandad pointed out that he was ready for his job and it did not make any difference to him whether senior or junior players were to be trained by him.

Miandad, who joined Pakistan team as coach for the third time in four years, said that he had coached the senior players without any problems.

Miandad, who reached here from Dubai on Tuesday, added that he was not sure whether the April 1-10 Sharjah Cup would be postponed or not due to the US-led war against Iraq.

He said that Dubai was calm and was not affected by the war.
