The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has reportedly appointed the members of the 1992 World Cup winning team in an advisory board to deliberate strategy for next year's World Cup.

As a 'strong' appeal against chairman Mohammad Zaka Ashraf's reinstatement hovers, the PCB headed a meeting to deliberate strategy for the 2015 World Cup and decided that advice from the 1992 winning team members would be the best way to prepare for the tournament.

According to the Express Tribune, PCB Director General Javed Miandad and Director International Cricket Intikhab Alam, who were part of that triumphant side as vice-captain and manager respectively, have been assigned the task of contacting their former team members.

 

The report mentioned that current Pakistan captains Misbahul Haq (Test, ODI) and Mohammad Hafeez (T20) would also be a part of the deliberation process, and an official said that a plan for the 2015 World Cup and the ICC World T20 would be devised based on their recommendations.
