(born
June 12,
1957), popularly called
Javed Miandad, was born in
Karachi,
Pakistan. He had a long career as an international cricketer for Pakistan between
1975 and
1996, and coached for Pakistan in the 2003-2004 season before stepping down to
Bob Woolmer. He made his
Test debut against
New Zealand at
Lahore on
October 9,
1976 and
one-day international debut against
West Indies at
Birmingham in
Cricket World Cup 1975. He was named as one of the cricketers of the year in
1982 by
Wisden. He is known for both his onfield and off field skirmishes, going by the nickname "The Street Fighter," because of his fighting talent on and off the ground. His finest moment came during the Australasia Cup of 1986, in
Sharjah. To defeat India, Miandad had to hit a
six, and nothing less, to defeat
India in the final. He did just that, off
Chetan Sharma, to lead his country to victory.
Miandad is the only cricketer to appear in four World Cup competitions; the first four.
