Hurt Miandad turns to India

“I am not averse to taking up coaching assignments in India. There are few offers but I will decide after talking to various Indian cricketers and officials,” he said adding that he has been sounded by the Cricket Club of India in Mumbai to coach the boys at its academy.

Miandad said it was ironical that former Pakistani cricketers were travelling to India on coaching assignments, while PCB was busy hiring more and more foreign experts to train the local cricketers.

Besides chief coach Bob Woolmer, PCB has hired Barry Richards and Greg Chappell as batting consultants and Darryl Foster as bowling coach in addition to two South African physical trainers.

“After removing me as coach, they have taken the same team for Asia Cup, which I built during the last one year,” Miandad said. “I moulded this team after the disastrous performance in the World Cup and made it fit enough to defeat South Africa and give a close fight to India during the recent series. They do this to me every time.” (PTI)
