Former Pakistan fast bowler Aaqib Javed has been appointed Sri Lanka’s fast-bowling coach. He is set to assume the role with immediate effect until the conclusion of the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and USA in June. Javed is set to leave for Sri Lanka next week.

“Sri Lanka Cricket wishes to announce the ap-pointment of former Pakistan pace bowler Aaqib Javed as the national team’s fast-bowling coach,” an SLC statement said. “He will work with the national team until the completion of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.”

Javed, 51, has served as Lahore Qalandars’ head coach in the PSL since 2017, leading them to successive titles in 2022 and 2023. The Qalandars campaign this year was a disappointing one as the side won just one game and finished bottom of the table.

Javed has also worked as Pakistan’s bowling coach, most notably when they won the T20 World Cup in 2009, and served as head coach of the UAE, during a period they were granted ODI status and qualified for the 2015 World Cup. He was also Pakistan’s Under-19 coach during their run to the title in 2004.

Javed played 163 ODIs and 22 Test matches for Pakistan between 1988 and 1998, and was part of the squad that won the 1992 World Cup.—Agencies
