1996 World Cup Profile:
His immense batting talent and a very sharp cricketing mind has made Javed Miandad Pakistan`s most valuable batsman. Starting with a scintillating century on debut against New Zealand at Lahore at age 19, Javed`s Test batting average has never dropped below fifty throughout his 20 year career. Javed is by far Pakistan`s most experienced Test player, and most prolific run- getter - 8465 Test runs at 54.26. Apart from his formidable Test record, Javed has been Pakistan`s hero in limited overs cricket on many occasions when his ability to stand strong when the rest of the batting crumbles has snatched victory from the jaws of defeat. Hailing from Karachi, Javed plays his domestic cricket for Habib Bank. Javed`s non-textbook batting style, though the scourge of cricket coaches, has attracted many young players, like Basit Ali, to model themselves on. Back from a two-year absence from international cricket to retake his place as the backbone of Pakistan`s batting, Javed is the only player to have played in all six World Cups.help@cricinfo.com
