Karachi: Former test captain Javed Miandad has been appointed as batting consultant to prepare Pakistan for next month's Champions Trophy in South Africa, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Thursday.
Pakistan's batting repeatedly collapsed on the recent tour of Sri Lanka, where they lost the test and one-day series, prompting the PCB to call on former national coach Miandad.
"Recent results in Sri Lanka suggest that we need a professional batting coach with the team so we asked Miandad to help us out and he has agreed," PCB chairman Ejaz Butt told a news conference on Thursday.
