Former Pakistan great Javed Miandad has asked Pakistan cricketers to give their 200 percent while representing for Pakistan. Miandad was appointed as batting advisor of Pakistan national team following their devastating performance during the recent Sri Lanka tour where they lost both the test and ODI series.
Javed Miandad believes that working hard under the sun is not the only thing you need to succeed. Rather, you have to have a commitment to give your best. He thinks a team needs 200 percent of commitment from their players in order to bring out success. Well, I also agree with Javed Miandad on this regard, but I just want to add by saying that you also need complete dedication in whatever you do and this is the key to success.
Javed Miandad also asked Pakistan cricket administrators to build grassy wickets so that Pakistani cricketers would not have to worry for bouncy wickets. He thinks Pakistan would be better prepared for ICC Champions Trophy 2009, set to start from 22 September in South Africa where most of the grounds have bouncy wickets and the condition is helpful for the pacers.
Pakistan cricket legend Javed Miandad has recently been appointed as an advisor to the Chinese Cricket Association (CCA). The former Pakistan great was offered the role in a letter sent by CCA and he accepted the offer instantly. Under this job, Miandad will be proving advises and suggestions to CCA on several cricketing affairs. The offer came to Miandad after he had gone on a tour to China last month as Pakistan’s cricket ambassador to the country. I guess you already know that PCB has already reappointed Javed Miandad as its director general.
So, Bada Mia of Pakistan cricket has now a number of jobs in hand at this moment. China is aspiring to become one of the cricket powers by 2020 and Pakistan has already provided lots of helps to China in promoting cricket across the country. In fact, the coach of China national cricket team is Rashid Khan, a former cricketer of Pakistan who last year guided China’s women’s cricket team to the semi final of Asian Cricket Council (ACC) women's tournament held in Malaysia. Javed Miandad is a very knowledable person when it comes to cricket and I think that he could play a big role behind the development of cricket in China.
