Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad has called for a collective effort by all the team members to obtain positive results in the World Cup that starts next month.
Speaking at the National Stadium, Karachi, Miandad said that players needed to forget any differences that existed for the millions of fans who follow the game. “The team would have to perform collectively in order to yield the desired result in the World Cup,” said the batting legend.
“It is the duty of all the team members to perform and it cannot bank on a few individuals to carry the burden.”
Miandad, also the Pakistan Cricket Board director general, hoped the team, trailing 1-0 in the One-Day International series against New Zealand, will make a comeback. “The players must not forget that they’re answerable to millions of fans. It’s of utmost importance to keep aside the differences so that the team performs its best.”
