The rapid change of heart happened after the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) appointed Miandad's nephew, Faisal Iqbal, as one its head coaches for the domestic teams.
Former Pakistan cricketer Javed Miandad has claimed that it was him who made Imran Khan the prime minister of the country.
Azam stated that he doesn't want to be compared with Kohli but with some of the top-class batsmen that have donned the jersey of Pakistan in the past.
Sohail has compared Virat Kohli with Javed Miandad, saying much like the legendary Pakistan batsman, the greatness of the current Indian skipper also rubs off on his teammates.
Gavaskar recalled an instance when he and Miandad pranked former Australian skipper Ian Chappell, who was a commentator in one of the matches.
During the India tour of Pakistan in 2003-04, Miandad, who was the coach of Pakistan then, had said that bowlers like Pathan can be found on any street in Pakistan.
Even after 34 years, Miandad's six in Sharjah dominates the rivalry in cricket between India and Pakistan. Miandad slammed a splendid century - 116 not out and led his team to an iconic win in that match.
According to Miandad, things like spot-fixing go against the teachings of Islam and should be treated accordingly.
"Upcoming cricketers shouldn't be concerned about their hairstyles etc and if they do, then movies are the right place for them," Miandad said in a video on Youtube.
The PCB has said that it is holding an inquiry into the matter and talking to its media rights partner.
Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad has named his favourite Indian cricketer.
Miandad's comments came after former Akhtar claimed on country's national television that some Pakistani cricketers refused to have food with Kaneria, who belonged to the minority Hindu community.
Warnapura and Miandad were opposite captains in the first-ever Test between the two countries at Karachi's National Stadium in March 1982.
