KARACHI, (Reuters) – 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 yesterday.
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 yesterday.
