Javed Miandad, still smarting from his unceremonious dumping as Pakistan coach, has agreed to take up a coaching assignment in CM Mulayam Singh Yadav’s homebase, Saifai, in Etawah district. Saifai will soon be getting world-class sporting facilities, including a cricket clinic for young talent. Miandad, who was in Lucknow for the launch of a sports channel, even mooted the idea of inaugurating the Saifai stadium with a friendly between politicians of both countries, adding that a number of Pakistani politicians—like Imran Khan—played regular cricket even now. Miandad showed keen interest in taking up the coaching assignment and said he also has an invitation from the Cricket Club of India to be a coach at their academy.
