Javed misses coaching job - "I'll just play instead"
Nasir Javed has missed out on a coaching position in the American League this year, but this isn't the end of his American League dream. The 47-year-old leg-spinner, who has played an ODI in 2004 and last represented his country in 2010, has told the press that he intends to find a franchise to play for this season. The drafts begin later today, and he may now be of interest to some of the teams. "It's not just about the kids!" he quipped to the one lone journalist who bumped into him while they both happened to be getting a burrito from the same fast food van.
