PAKISTAN, LAHORE: Former Pakistan captain and now Director General, Pakistan Cricket Board, Javed Miandad has urged the out of form players to stay away from the game for a certain time period in a bid to regain their forms.
I think it is the best way for an out-of-form cricketer to regain form if he gives himself a break and rests to start a fresh,” he was talking to reporters after conducting a brief training session with the Under-16 players at National cricket academy where he gave useful tips to the aspiring cricketers.
He was of the view that bad patch was a part of the players life and in order to come out from it, the best way was to leave cricket for some time.
Some of our batsmen did not perform to a good level in recently concluded series in Sri Lanka and they must think on this aspect of getting a brief break,” he added.
Asked the performance of Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq remained below par in Sri Lanka, Miandad without mentioning name of any cricketer said it was the only solution for a cricketer who wants to get back the form.
When asked about express bowler Shoaib’s Akhtar future in cricket “ the doors were open for all the players to show their perform on ground and to get place”.
I believe that your performance should speak instead of tall claims and only a best performance in the ground is a valid proof to fitness and form “,said Miandad.
About the talent available in the camp, Miandad said all the boys were talented and he gave tip to all bowlers and batsmen. He said it was the best age to learn about the game and hopefully the boys would not waste the opportunity.
I will give tips to the national senior team when the players will start their training for the important Champions Trophy, which is being held in South Africa from Sept 22”,he added. “I am available for all cricketing duties and I will love to serve the country,” he said.
