Captaincy:
After the retirement of Asif Iqbal following a loss of a series to India, 22 years old Javed Miandad was made the captain of Pakistan. The Pakistan Cricket Board ''PCB'' preferred him over the senior cricketers like Zaheer Abbas, Sarfraz Nawaz,Majid Khan and Wasim Bari who were still playing. He faced a little opposition but his first two series as captain, in 1981-82, included a win against Australia, and a credible 0-1 loss to the West Indies. After a tough tour of Australia, opposition to his captaincy gained strength, and his first captaincy period ended during the following home series against Sri Lanka.Coaching and Commentary:
Javed Miandad is one of the only individuals to have coached the Pakistan Cricket Team three times. He was first appointed coach in September 1998. Under his reign Pakistan defeated India in India ''once in the Test series which ended 1-1, and once in the Asian Test Championship'', won the tri-series in India, won the Asian Test Championship and won the 1999 Sharjah Cup in April. Strangely, Javed Miandad faxed his resignation to the PCB in late April 1999, just before the 1999 Cricket World Cup. The reason for his first resignation was unknown. Many cited hiring of Richard Pybus ''technical coach'' and Sarfaraz Nawaz ''bowling coach'' as a possible reason. Others suggested unrest with senior players. In 2000, after Moin Khan took over captaincy from Saeed Anwar, Miandad was 
reappointed as the coach. During his second reign, Pakistan won the Sharjah Cup (March 2000), the West Indies tri-series and the test series in Sri Lanka. Pakistan lost the ICC Champions Trophy semifinal under his reign. Miandad was removed along with Moin Khan in April 2001 after Pakistan lost the ODI series in New Zealand. There were also reports of match fixing during the preceding Test series which Pakistan drew after losing the third game. After Pakistan's dismal show in the 2003 Cricket World Cup, another cleanup operation was undertaken by the PCB, naming Rashid Latif as captain and Javed Miandad as team coach in March 2003. During this reign, Javed Miandad won Pakistan the Sharjah Cup ''April 2003'' bereft of big names like Inzamam and Yousaf. Pakistan won the home test series against South Africa after losing 3-2 in the ODI series. Pakistan lost the home ODI series to India in 2004 and following the loss of the test series, Javed Miandad was shown the door in June 2004, being replaced by South African Bob Woolmer. Following this he was offered broadcasting and coaching positions in India. Also in November 2010 it was being planned to give Javed Miandad a role as a batting coach. Javed Miandad was again appointed as a batting consultant for the 2012 T20 World Cup in SriLanka.
