Javed Miandad is one of the most celebrated cricketers in Pakistan. He represented Pakistan in a total of six World Cups and played 233 ODIs. The 66-year-old also featured in 124 Tests during his playing career.
Babar Azam recorded his 31st international hundred to register the fourth-highest international centuries for Pakistan so far.
Even as PCB Chairman Najam Sethi remained non committal about Pakistan travelling to India for the World Cup, there is every chance that they might not skip the mega event.
The Indian cricket team will not travel to Pakistan for the upcoming edition of the Asia Cup. The Pakistan cricket team too has threatened that they will boycott the 2023 edition of the ICC ODI World Cup that is to be played in India.
The rapid change of heart happened after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) appointed Miandad's nephew, Faisal Iqbal, as one its head coaches for the domestic teams.
Former Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad has claimed that it was him who made Imran Khan the prime minister of the country.
Azam stated that he doesn't want to be compared with Kohli but with some of the top-class batsmen that have donned the jersey of Pakistan in the past.
Sohail has compared Virat Kohli with Javed Miandad, saying much like the legendary Pakistan batsman, the greatness of the current Indian skipper also rubs off on his teammates.
Gavaskar recalled an instance when he and Miandad pranked former Australian skipper Ian Chappell, who was a commentator in one of the matches.
During the India tour of Pakistan in 2003-04, Miandad, who was the coach of Pakistan then, had said that bowlers like Pathan can be found on any street in Pakistan.
Even after 34 years, Miandad's six in Sharjah dominates the rivalry in cricket between India and Pakistan. Miandad slammed a splendid century - 116 not out and led his team to an iconic win in that match.
According to Miandad, things like spot-fixing go against the teachings of Islam and should be treated accordingly.
"Upcoming cricketers shouldn't be concerned about their hairstyles etc and if they do, then movies are the right place for them," Miandad said in a video on Youtube.
The PCB has said that it is holding an inquiry into the matter and talking to its media rights partner.
Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad has named his favourite Indian cricketer.
Miandad's comments came after former Akhtar claimed on country's national television that some Pakistani cricketers refused to have food with Kaneria, who belonged to the minority Hindu community.
Warnapura and Miandad were opposite captains in the first-ever Test between the two countries at Karachi's National Stadium in March 1982.
Former Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad further opined that the absence of top Sri Lankan cricketers shouldn't matter for hosts.
Miandad played his last ODI against the Windies in 1993 and so Kohli will be breaking a 26-year-old record if he manages to hit 19 runs in the upcoming second ODI.
Here are some memorable moments in India vs Pakistan matches that stayed forever in every cricket lover's heart.
