KARACHI: Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad declined on Wednesday, to play the role of batting consultant for the national team’s tour of New Zealand.

The batting great reportedly declined the job after being told by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) that he would have to report to head coach Waqar Younis. Miandad, currently serving as PCB director-general, was interested to work as batting and fielding consultant in the lead up to World Cup 2011 but has now backed out as he wants more authority, reports said.
The former coach of the national team has however, offered to help the Pakistan batsmen during the national team’s training camp, which is set to get underway in Lahore next week
