“Despite the recent series loss in New Zealand, I still believe Pakistan will be a tough side as its players are used to playing on these surfaces. Whether they will be able to cash in on the advantage of playing in familiar conditions is to be seen, but I have a feeling we will get quality performers from this series,” Inzamam-ul-Haq added.

Inzamam-ul-Haq is Pakistan’s third most successful batsman behind Younis Khan (10,099) and Javed Miandad (8,832) with 8,829 Test runs.

IPL 2020: MS Dhoni Is Not Match Fit – Javed Miandad

Published on

Former Pakistan batsman Javed Miandad has pointed out that the reason for MS Dhoni’s string of low scores — is that he is not match fit. According to him, at Dhoni’s age, it becomes difficult to be entirely fit.

Before featuring in the IPL 2020, MS Dhoni was under sabbatical for over a year from cricket. He last played a competitive match against New Zealand during the World Cup 2019.

Speaking to Indian express, Javed Miandad stated that although CSK captain is physically fit, the problem lies in his timing and reflexes because he is not match fit.

“Your physical ability is inversely proportional to your age. As you grow older, your physical ability goes down and you must work harder on your fitness to get going at the highest level […] Physically Dhoni is still very fit,” Javed Miandad said.

“I am talking about his match fitness. For a player of Dhoni’s age, it becomes even more difficult […] To me, the problem areas are his timing and reflexes. If a player is not totally match-fit, his timing and reflexes get slower.” 

MS Dhoni should increase his net sessions: Javed Miandad

Javed Miandad has suggested MS Dhoni follow more exercises drill to improve his timing and body position. He added that the former Indian cricketer should double his hour of net sessions.

“What I have seen, his body positions were not right for certain shots. This is a reason why he is struggling with his timing […] My suggestion to Dhoni will be to increase his exercise drills and batting time at the nets.

“If he is doing 20 sit-ups (for example), he can increase it to 30. If he doing five sprints, he can increase it to eight. If he is spending an hour at the nets for batting practice, he can increase it to two hours,” Miandad added.

Tagged as one of the best finishers, MS Dhoni has lost his wicket cheaply, scoring a meagre 136 runs from nine games at a strike rate of 132.03.

While CSK is having a rough patch this season, Dhoni would be hoping to produce magical spells in the coming matches to seal the spot in the playoffs.

Great Cricketers Who Returned To The Game After Announcing Retirement

Published on

While making the debut in the game is one of the great unforgettable moments for a cricketer, retiring from the game is one of the painful moments. But the player has to take the retirement decision from the game at a certain period of life.

However, there are some cricketers who have still felt passionate about the game even after their retirement. A few of them even decided to overturn their retirement decision and return to the game.

Great Cricketers Who Returned To The Game After Announcing Retirement

The Indian cricketer Ambati Rayudu was once a regular player in the Indian ODI side. After his international debut in 2013, though he played only six T20Is till 2016, he also played 55 ODIs till March 2019. After returning to the ODI side in September 2018 after waiting for more than two years, Rayudu was performing consistently at the no.3 and no.4 batting positions.

But Rayudu disappointed in his last international series (ODI series against Australia at home in March 2019) and he also failed to impress in the IPL 2019. Due to those weak performances, he was not included in the Indian 15-member squad for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019. Although he was in the stand-by squad for that tournament, he was ignored during that tournament. When the all-rounder Vijay Shankar was ruled out from the middle of that tournament due to injury, uncapped ODI player Mayank Agarwal replaced him, who was not even in the stand-by squad for that tournament.

Earlier, after the original 15-member Indian squad selection for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Rayudu tweeted “Just Ordered a new set of 3d glasses to watch the world cup” in the reaction of the “three-dimensional” cricketer comment of then chairman of the selection committee MSK Prasad for the all-rounder Vijay Shankar. In that period, Rayudu and Shankar were fighting for a spot in the Indian squad for that tournament.

In July 2019, Rayudu surprised everyone by announcing his retirement from all forms of cricket. However, later in August 2019, he changed his mind and announced his return in the game. After his return to the game, Rayudu served for the Hyderabad in the domestic List A and T20 tournaments. He is also ready to participate in the IPL 2020, where he will continue to perform for Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

Javed Miandad Extends Apology To PM Imran Khan After ‘Disparaging’ Comments

Published on

Javed Miandad — the former Pakistan captain is known for embroiling himself into controversies, but, of late he has apologised this time around to Pakistan Prime Minister and former Pakistan skipper. Imran Khan after blaming him for damaging the face of national cricket and even challenged him in politics.

Miandad issued an apology to his former teammate after saying that he had lost his cool after Pakistan’s loss against England in the first Test match played at Manchester.

Pakistan lost the first Test to England despite having a first-innings lead of 107 runs, but eventually failed with the bat in second innings and failed to defend the target of 277 given to England.

At one stage, England were reeling at 117 for five at one stage and Pakistan squandered an opportunity of winning when England’s Jos Buttler and Chris Woakes stitched together a remarkable 139-run partnership for the sixth wicket as England won by three wickets.

Javed Miandad Apologizes For Being Angry Due To Pakistan’s Loss

The veteran Pakistan cricketer — Javed Miandad represented Pakistan from 1975 to 1996 and featured in 124 Tests and 233 ODIs. He was their former coach and held key positions in PCB as well. His last ball six against India to win the Austral Asia Cup is one of the best moments of Pakistan’s cricket history against arch-rivals India.

Besides, Miandad maintained that he has great regard for prime minister — and fans of Pakistan after his nephew Faisal Iqbal was selected as one of the coaches of the domestic teams by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

“If I have offended anyone, I apologise for my words, especially to the prime minister because I was angry about Pakistan’s performance in the first Test against England,” Javed Miandad said.

“I have full respect for prime minister and Pakistan cricket fans all over the world,” he added.

Miandad was involved in many incidents like hitting Australian Dennis Lille with his bat during Pakistan’s tour of Australia in 1981/1982 after colliding while scampering for a quick single run. He also infamously imitated an over-enthusiastic Kiran More during a match against India in 1992 World Cup.

Javed Miandad In Controversy Yet Again Alleging Pakistan PM

Javed Miandad is known for his disputed remarks and controversy was aroused when he alleged that Imran Khan had damaged the face of Pakistan cricket besides indirectly blaming PCB Chief Executive Officer Wasim Khan.

“It is almost like you’re the only intelligent person in this country. As if no one else has gone to Oxford or Cambridge or any other university in Pakistan. Think about the people. You don’t care about the country. You came to my home and went out as a prime minister. I challenge you to deny this,” Javed Miandad said.

It becomes pertinent that, Javed Miandad’s son Junaid Miandad is married to Mahrukh Ibrahim, who is the daughter of India’s most wanted gangster — Dawood Ibrahim.

Imran’s political party is Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and he assumed office from 18th August 2018 and also is a member of National Assembly from 13th August 2018.

Babar Azam Insists On Comparison With Javed Miandad And Inzamam-Ul-Haq Rather Than Virat Kohli

Published on

Pakistan’s young prodigal batsman, Babar Azam has said that he should be compared to former Pakistan greats like Inzamam-ul-Haq and Javed Miandad rather than the current Indian skipper, Virat Kohli. Indian captain Virat Kohli is undeniably one of the greatest batsmen of his generation. Babar Azam, on the other hand, has also established himself as a world-class batsman in a short period.

This has led to comparisons being drawn between the two legendary batsmen of arch-rival nations. Kohli has scored more than 20,000 runs in international cricket so far and although he might have had a rough patch recently, he seems to be racking up records for fun.

Now, Babar Azam has said that he should be compared to former Pakistan greats like Javed Miandad and Inzamam ul Haq rather than the current Indian skipper, Virat Kohli.

Babar Azam Opens Up On His Comparisons With Virat Kohli

If you compare me to these legends, I will like it more and feel proud of my accomplishments,” Azam told reporters in a teleconference.

Babar Azam has been a rising star for Pakistan in recent times and has received praise from all over the world for his impressive batting antics. He is playing with an average of above 50 in limited-overs cricket and with average above 45 in Test cricket.

The flamboyant Indian skipper has already smashed 70 international centuries so far and just seems to get better with days going by.

Javed Miandad Refuses To Compare Virat Kohli With Sachin Tendulkar Or Sunil Gavaskar

Published on

Legendary Pakistan batsman, Javed Miandad has refused to compare Virat Kohli with Sachin Tendulkar or Sunil Gavaskar. Sunil Gavaskar, Sachin Tendulkar, and Virat Kohli have all been pioneers of Indian cricket during their respective eras and have been the best batsmen not only in Indian cricket but in the entire world.

However, Javed Miandad believes it will be wrong to compare Virat Kohli to the other two legends. While Sachin Tendulkar has been the greatest ever batsman in world cricket, Sunil Gavaskar has been among one of the greats of Indian cricket and holds a respectable demeanour in the cricketing circuit.

“If you are talking of the street fighter attitude, then I don’t think you can compare anyone from my era with the present generation. You cannot make another Sunny Gavaskar or Sachin Tendulkar. You can idolise someone but that won’t change an individual’s class or quality. You can’t compare players from different generations,” Miandad was quoted as saying by Telegraph.

Babar Azam Has Full Support Of Veteran Javed Miandad

Published on

The legendary Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad feels that the 25-year-old Babar Azam is the right person to lead the present Pakistan team. While Babar already started the T20I captaincy for Pakistan recently, he has been now appointed as an ODI captain too.

After making his international debut in 2015, Babar Azam has played 26 Tests, 74 ODIs and 38 T20Is, where the right-handed batsman has scored 1850 runs (average 45.12), 3359 runs (average 54.17) and 1471 runs (average 50.72) respectively.

Now, Babar is handling the limited-overs captaincy roles of the Pakistan national cricket team. Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad recently praised the young Pakistan white-ball captain.

On his YouTube channel, Miandad said, “You (Babar) are the king of cricket and people know you for that. You just don’t need to take any kind of pressure.”

We are Pakistanis, and Urdu is our mother tongue, not English: Javed Miandad on Babar Azam’s weak spoken English

While Babar’s spoken English is not so strong enough, Miandad feels that it is not a necessary criterion to become a captain of a national team.

Backing the new Pakistan skipper, Miandad claimed, “Cricket is the only criteria for cricket, not English as there were many other countries in the world which doesn’t speak English. These types of statements can under-pressure the player. You (Babar) speak in Urdu and let someone translate.

Miandad further added, “You (Babar) don’t know English that’s Ok. You are the captain of Pakistan and you have to lead from the front. Discard these types of thoughts from your mind. You (Babar) have the capability to bat and lead the team, so you don’t need to get under pressure. We are Pakistanis and Urdu is our mother tongue not English.”

Miandad feels that it is only unnecessary things, and they shouldn’t waste their precious time by focusing on these unnecessary things.

The former Pakistan captain continued, “We are still caught in unnecessary things whereas rest of the world has succeeded today just because of its focus on work.”

While Javed Miandad served the Pakistan team from 1975 to 1996, he played 124 Tests, and 233 ODIs. In his international career, the right-handed batsman scored 8832 Test runs (average 52.57) and 7381 ODI runs (average 41.70). He was one of the heroes who guided the Pakistan team to win the Cricket World Cup 1992 (second-most run-scorer in that tournament; 437 runs). Miandad also led the national team in 96 international matches between 1980 and 1993.

Miandad has full confidence in Babar Azam and the present Pakistan bowling unit.  

Miandad quoted, “We have full confidence on you people (Pakistani players). We have a very good bowling and it always win the matches.”

Pakistan can resume their international cricket with the forthcoming England tour where they will play a three-match Test series and three-match T20I series.
