Javed Miandad will work with the Pakistan team as a batting and fielding consultant to help them prepare for their upcoming tour of New Zealand and the 2011 World Cup. This is the latest of his roles in Pakistan cricket, having been captain and coach and currently also director-general of the PCB.
“It is a great feeling to be back in cricket gear,” Miandad told Reuters on the sidelines of a preparatory camp ahead of the upcoming New Zealand tour. “Coaching has always been a passion for me and I can help our players. It is all about fine-tuning them and preparing them mentally for difficult conditions and situations, since they have the talent.”
The New Zealand series is Pakistan’s last opportunity to finalise their World Cup plans. In recent times, they have been bogged down by controversies on and off the field, prompting one-day captain Shahid Afridi to play down the side’s World Cup hopes. Miandad, who holds the record for having appeared in most World Cups (six), could prove to be a valuable addition to the team as they search for stability ahead of the marquee event.
Miandad has coached the team three times in the past, each association ending in acrimonious circumstances. In January, he was involved in a war of words with Ijaz Butt after the PCB chairman indicated that Miandad was costing the board almost Rs 1 million ($ 11,820) for his services as director-general.

Sohail Tanvir added to New Zealand tour squad
Updated : Monday December 27 , 2010 8:45:01 PM
KARACHI: Pakistan added injury-blighted paceman Sohail Tanvir to their squad in New Zealand on Monday, just two weeks after he was ruled out of the trip with a knee problem.
Left-armer Tanvir last played a test over three years ago. He underwent knee surgery last year but has been given the all clear following another fitness test.
“The medical panel has revaluated his fitness and cleared him fit for the tour,” said a Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman, adding the Australian doctor who operated on the 26-year-old last year said the future is bright for Tanvir.
“The doctor has also said he is now ready to take the load of international cricket.”
Tanvir took nine wickets including 6-32 in the second innings of a Quaid-e-Azam Trophy match shortly after he was initially dropped from the squad, and said he informed the board that he was now feeling no discomfort while bowling or fielding.
“The doctors have only advised me not to initially field inside the circle to avoid sharp bending of the knees,” he said.
Pakistan lost the first Twenty20 international against New Zealand by five wickets on Sunday and play a further two followed in 2011 by two tests and six one-day internationals.
The national team is already without the services of their leading pace bowlers Mohammad Amir and Mohammad Asif, who remained suspended by the ICC on allegations of spot-fixing.
