The Pakistan Cricket Board is negotiating with former skipper Javed Miandad to accept the post of the national team's batting coach.

ODI skipper Shahid Afridi (who is still trending on Twitter in India!) said after a meeting with PCB chief Ijaz Butt that the board was in talks with Miandad.

"I have suggested having a batting coach with the team to work with the players and Miandad is one of the people the board is in touch with," Afridi said.

It must be noted that Miandad, a veteran of 124 Tests and 237 one-day and also a former coach, had to leave his post due to issues with the board and within the team.

FYI: Javed Miandad's son is married to Dawood Ibrahim's daughter.
