While I am glad to see Javed involved with Pakistani cricket again, I must admit I had more than just a healthy scepticism over his instatement as national coach. Among us Pakistanis, there is a feeling that Javed Miandad can do anything. He usually does exactly that. But even Javed is human. It is important to remember that making him coach will not fix the problem.
Cricket is a team game.
And by team I mean the players and the coach and manager. When teams rely on one member they are doomed to fail. And that is why I feel we should give Miandad time to grow into his role. This is a process that I am sure will not take the man long to master. As Hanif Mohammad said recently, the man is possessed of one of the greatest cricketing minds ever.
