Miandad reappointed to PCB role

Miandad played 124 Tests and 233 limited-over games for Pakistan

Former Pakistan Test captain Javed Miandad has rejoined the Pakistan Cricket Board as director general.

Miandad was initially appointed in October 2008 but quit in January citing his "limited role".

"Now everything is settled and I am happy to be back in the cricket board," said Miandad.

"There is a lot that needs to be done - like how to revive international cricket in Pakistan and how to make our domestic cricket more competitive."

Pakistan have not played an international fixture since seven people were killed and seven players were injured when the team bus of the touring Sri Lanka side was attacked by gunmen on 3 March.

Miandad - who has had three stints as Pakistan coach and is the country's highest Test scorer with 8,832 runs - was reappointed after a meeting with PCB chairman Ijaz Butt.

Butt admitted last month that there were procedural flaws in Miandad's initial appointment last year but said the former Test captain's return was a positive step.

"It was a very cordial meeting," said Butt. "The good thing is that he is back with us."
