Jahangir Khan: A champion who lived up to his name | Sports

Jahangir Khan: A champion who lived up to his name | Sports

The word Jahangir means ‘Conqueror of the World’. The Pakistani squash legend Jahangir not only conquered the world but then held onto his empire for an unprecedented five years and eight months, during which he won 555 consecutive matches without a single defeat. This is a record unmatched in the annals of any sport, and it puts Jahangir in the rarefied air of a shortlist to choose the greatest sportsman that Pakistan, or perhaps the world, has ever produced.His domination was complete and relentless. Week after week he would put his reputation on the line testing it against all comers and overcoming them. Jahangir had all the classical 6 S’s required to be a squash champion, strength, stamina, style, sense, suppleness and speed. When, to this mix, you add an unquenchable desire to win and a huge sense of pride in his family’s record and tradition, you create an unbeatable superstar, ‘unsquashable’ was the epithet used by his coach and mentor Rahmat Khan. In his prime it was said of Jahangir that he would simplify the travel arrangements of those who came up against him in the draw of any tournament for they knew that they would be heading home after playing him.

Jahangir did not start out as a likely champion. He was a sickly child, born with a bilateral or double hernia. He was advised to refrain from strenuous physical exercise and like a dutiful son he obeyed parenteral instructions.

Jahangir’s father was the great squash champion Roshan Khan and he was the squash professional at the Pakistan Navy’s Fleet Club. His elder brothers Torsam and Hassan were both keen and budding squash players as well. Jahangir had his first hernia operation when he was five and received a squash racket with a shortened shaft as a gift toy from his father on his eighth birthday. However, the young boy saw it differently, he used the racket to practice his grip for various squash strokes and learnt how to execute them. It became his constant companion, cementing his love affair with the sport.

When Jahangir turned ten, Roshan started taking him to the Fleet Club for a short weekly playing session. The doctor still wanted him to be cautious and no one really thought that he would have a career as a sportsman, and that too in a sport that required extreme physical fitness. However, unknown to Roshan, on returning from school Jahangir would sneak back to the Fleet Club when it was closed for the afternoon break, and then again after dusk. Ignoring his doctor’s advice, he pushed himself hard, practicing the strokes he’d seen his father play. At the age of twelve, after a successful second hernia operation, Jahangir soon began to train with greater rigour, building his strength and stamina. Seeing his interest and committment, Roshan was also won over and started tutoring Jahangir himself.

Jahangir made rapid progress, honing his skills under his father’s tutelage. In November 1978, at the age of just fourteen, he became the Pakistan National Junior Champion defeating the title holder Ramshaid Gul in the final in Peshawar. A few months later he made waves in the National Open Squash Championship in Karachi, where he ousted the top seed Mohammad Saleem, before bowing out to Saleem’s brother Maqsood Ahmed in the quarter finals.

Jahangir was chosen to tour the Scandavian countries with the National Juniors team. At the tour’s conclusion he flew to London to visit his brother Torsam and cousin Rahmat, who were both living there. Torsam persuaded him to stay on and took him under his wing, focusing on toughening Jahangir up mentally and tactically for major tournaments. It was an idyllic time for Jahangir, spent improving his squash, acquiring better English speaking skills and enjoying the company of his brother and cousin.

In April 1979, Jahangir participated in the British Junior Open Championship where his power and speed ensured him a place in the final. Though he lost to the much older Australian Glen Brumby, Jahangir had made a strong imprint in the squash world, confirming a prediction made by the world number four Hiddy Jahan in 1977, that Jahangir “would be dangerous within two years.”

The next tournament was the World Amateur Championship in Melbourne in October 1979. Jahangir, who had been training in England, was called for trials, being held in Peshawar, to select the Pakistan national side. Due to jet lag he was unable to play at his best and could not make the team, though he would still be competing in the individual event. Much to his surprise, on reaching Melbourne he found that his name was not included in the qualifying draw. Fortunately for him, another player withdrew and Jahangir was drafted in to replace him. He progressed through the qualifying rounds to find a place in the main 64 man field.

All his training and hard work now began to pay off. He steadily made his way through the early rounds and straight games victories in the quarter and semifinals over John Leslie of England and Frank Donnelly of Australia landed him in the final.

Jahangir’s opponent in the final was Phil Kenyon of Great Britain, who won the first set 9-2. In response, Jahangir extended the rallies, kept the ball deep, and applied unremitting pressure that sapped his opponent’s stamina and strength. He won the next three sets 9-2, 9-2 and 9-5 to secure an unexpected victory. He was now the world amateur champion at the incredibly young age of fifteen, the youngest ever to achieve this distinction. All through the tournament Torsam had been guiding him on the phone from London, helping him to analyze his opponents and draw up a strategy for each match.

While accolades flowed in to greet this new star on the constellation, tragedy was lurking in the background. Jahangir’s brother Torsam suddenly collapsed and died in Adelaide during a match in the Australian Open tournament.

Jahangir was totally distraught and even contemplated giving up the game but decided to continue as a tribute to his brother’s memory. Rahmat sensed Jahangir’s utter devastation and decided to step in and take over Torsam’s role of coaching his young cousin. Jahangir moved into Rahmat’s house and immersed himself in a punishing training regimen as an antidote for his grief. His day would begin with a 10 mile run in 60-120 minutes, followed by a series of 400 meter laps and short bursts of timed sprints with just a brief respite between each. In the afternoon there would be weight training in the gym before finally cooling down with a swim in the pool. This was his unrelenting routine for five days each week. The sixth day was devoted to match practice, where Rahmat had developed innovative methods to strengthen Jahangir’s backhand and forehand drives, his drop shots, his lobs and boasts, as well as his cross-court play. The seventh day would be one of rest, allowing Jahangir to unwind and recover. Rahmat’s message was unambiguous, concentrate on developing fitness, ball control and the will to win. The effort made Jahangir the fittest sportsman of his time.

In the 1980 season the sixteen year old prodigy turned professional and made it to the final of the Irish Open where he was beaten by the great Jonah Barrington. With mixed feelings, he also entered the World Open, being played in Adelaide on the courts where his brother had died the previous year. Overcoming the sixth seed Maqsood Ahmad, he met the Pakistan number one Qamar Zaman in the quarter final. In a grueling match Qamar had to play at his best to win a close five setter. Jahangir followed this up by winning the New Zealand Open, before facing Qamar again on home ground in the final of the PIA Masters in Karachi. Qamar’s magical strokeplay gave him a two set lead before Jahangir hit back ruthlessly to win the next three sets and the match for the loss of only nine further points.

Jahangir next won the British Under-23 Open and followed it by lifting the Belgian Open. He now fixed his sight on the reigning world champion and legend Geoff Hunt. His first opportunity came in the Canada Club Open held in Munich. Jahangir was supremely fit and confident. Much to everyone’s surprise he beat Hunt 3-1. However, Hunt retaliated almost immediately, overcoming Jahangir in straight sets just ten days later in the 1981 ISPA Smirnoff Masters in Northern Ireland. Jahangir’s third encounter with Hunt was in the final of the Patrick Chichester Festival final. Both men played at their peak form with Hunt using every skill in his vast repertoire to unsettle an opponent half his age. He led by two games to one and was 4-1 up in the fourth game, when the sheer effort of keeping pace with Jahangir’s speed and relentless ball retrieval began to tell. Jehangir won eight points in a row to take the game and soon shot into a 5-1 lead in the fifth and deciding game. A desperate fight back from Hunt brought him level at 6-6, but the effort completely drained him and Jahangir won the remaining three points and the match, which had lasted a record 2 hours and 11 minutes.

Next was the Audi British Open in Bromley and Jahangir fancied his chances. Scything through his half of the draw, which saw him securing wins over Sherren of Zimbabwe, Sohail Qaisar from Pakistan, the Australian Dean Williams and two illustrious Pakistani compatriots Hiddy Jahan and Qamar Zaman, Jahangir reached the final where Hunt awaited him. Hunt won the first two games but Jahangir came back by taking the third and leading 6-1 in the fourth. In his eagerness to close out this game Jahangir became impatient and Hunt pounced with a fierce burst of brilliance to win the game 9-7 and with it the tournament. The match lasted 2 hours and 14 minutes, surpassing the record set at Chichester.

Jahangir was shaken but there was still the World Cup in Canada in November. On the way he won the Welsh Open, where Hiddy Jahan took him to five games, the last time this would happen for many years. This win was also the start of his unprecedented unbeaten run. He next won the Asian Masters in Karachi beating Qamar Zaman in straight games, the German Open, winning 3-1 against Hunt, and the World Masters in Newcastle against Zaman, again in straight games. Toronto was the venue for the World Cup where he sailed through the earlier rounds to meet Hunt in the finals. Incidentally Jahangir had hurt his shoulder during the semis but decided to play the final anyway, which happened to coincide with the second anniversary of Torsam’s death. A brutal opening game took 50 minutes and Hunt prevailed 9-7. However, it sapped his energy and Jahangir coasted ,through the next three games 9-1, 9-2, 9-2. He was the new World Champion having reached the summit at the age of seventeen, the youngest ever to do so in the history of the sport.

Over the next five years and eight months Jahangir would reign supreme in the squash world defeating everyone he met and winning every tournament in sight. His records include winning the World Championship without dropping a game, and also one for the longest squash match in history, when he beat the indefatigable Gamal Awad of Egypt in 2 hours and 46 minutes in the Chichester Festival tournament in 1983.

His triumphant streak, the longest in the history of any sport, was finally ended by New Zealand’s Ross Norman in the World Open in Toulouse, France, in November 1986. Jahangir extracted immediate revenge in the following tournament and went another nine months without defeat. His aura of invincibility had, however, been punctured and a fresh bunch of challengers emerged in the form of the Australians Rodney Martin, Chris Dittmar and a new rising star from Pakistan, Jansher Khan. Though Jahangir got the better of Jansher initially, the latter soon began to prevail and won the World Championship in 1987. Jahangir regained his title the following year but it would be his last world crown. He continued his winning run at the British Open into the nineties, finally retiring from squash in 1993, after losing in the World Open final to Jansher, but helping the national team to win the world team trophy.

The record Jahangir left behind is formidable. His multiple tournament victories included 6 World Open titles, 10 consecutive British Open crowns, winning 13 Pakistan Opens and leading Pakistan to the World Team Championship title on 5 occasions. He also tried his hand at the hardball American version of the game, winning the US title thrice. For 94 months he was ranked as the number one player in the world, 72 of them in succession. On retirement from the game he served as the President of the World Squash Federation from 2002-2008 and has subsequently been its President Emeritus since 2008.

Jahangir was the best player ever to step onto a squash court. He did not merely dominate his opponents, he demolished them, both on the court and psychologically. His arrival coincided with other changes in the sport like the glass court and the graphite racket. It also corresponded with the advent of ‘corporate’ squash and Jahangir was it’s first mega-star. A legend in his own time, the frail child from a modest background who became an awesome sportsman and a global icon, his story is one that dreams are made of.

Lyari, a forgotten nation

To be heard, to be understood, is to be accepted. Karachi is the father of Pakistan - the main bread earner for the country. However, Karachi’s mother is seemingly an unknown entity. The oldest inhabited part of Karachi, the mother of Karachi, is no other than Lyari. Populated by Sindhi fisherman, Baloch Nomads, Baloch migrants from Iran, Gujratis, Kuchis, and some African descendent Sheedis, Lyari presents a unique demographic, culture, and flair that is not to be found anywhere else. It is, however, very unfortunate that it has always been neglected no matter who its rulers were. From British rule to Pakistan’s independence and the subsequent Military and Civilian governments, all have been consistent in their approach – and that is to neglect Lyari. As a result, this has become a cluster of poor settlements. What subsequently happened to Lyari is what usually happens to a town that is left neglected for too long – it became infested with drugs and arms. As Karachi has grown over time, it has developed so many different sections that it is hard to find residents of one area who know what is going on in another area of the city. Lyari is located in the south district, far from the business district, posh localities, and the area where Karachi has been expanding – you can’t visit Lyari unless you really want to go there. In most parts of Karachi you will hardly find a handful of people who know where Lyari is and what it is all about. We only recognize it by its entertainment value, such as dances, catchy tunes, donkey cart racing on the streets of Clifton, boxers, and soccer players. But unfortunately that’s where the affiliation ends and the authorities turn a blind eye to the issues that the area faces. I can safely say I’m one of those few lucky ones who grew up knowing their culture. As a child I visited their homes many times, got to see their culture up close and shared their delicious food. As a child I also watched many of their soccer games in their favorite hangout, Kakri ground and many boxing matches in the boxing ring that was located in the far corner of the Kakri ground. As far as my memory goes I can easily say they are the most hospitable and free flowing souls. When I heard about my friend Azfar Naqvi venturing out to set up a soccer (called football in rest of the world) academy in this neglected area of Karachi it really intrigued my interest. I was excited to see that someone finally took a step to do something for children who deserved opportunities for learning & success. Allah swt acts in mysterious ways – someone’s loss could turn out to be somebody else’s fortune. I pray no one else has to go through what Azfar, Atia, and their family went through. They lost their eldest son Emad Syed Naqvi who was at the prime age of 25. Instead of submerging themselves in sorrow and depression what they subsequently did in response was not only brave, it was benevolent and uplifting to one of the most deprived communities of the city. Emad was born in 1993, the same year as my second daughter Alina. This is another reason Coach Emad Foundation strikes a chord with me. Emad performed his undergrad studies at UMass, Boston but was so passionate about soccer that he trained in his free time to become a coach when he wasn’t busy with his studies. He had obtained two out of six FIFA licenses and was more than determined to be a fully licensed coach. Emad’s ambition was to setup soccer academy in Lyari as he thought it had immense talent but constrained due to poverty and non-availability of resources. To continue Emad’s legacy and fulfill his dream Azfar Naqvi and his family took it upon themselves by setting up Coach Emad Foundation. It would have been easier to set up a soccer coaching academy in the posh area of Karachi since soccer is becoming increasingly popular in their Elite schools. But the goal here was to fulfill Emad’s dream in a more meaningful way, in a way that would help a neglected segment of society that he had wished to uplift. They knew that they would face numerous obstacles along the way, but their source of energy and determination was Emad and hence the challenges that they would later face would be trivial compared to the calamity that they had already faced. Nothing mattered now but to work on Emad’s dream. The Coach Emad Football Academy (CEFA) was established in 2018 and within a remarkable period of two years they were able to not only raise funds but complete their entire project. The playground was acquired and the work was done on it to transform it into a high class soccer ground that would be the envy of any youth soccer club. The Astroturf used on CEFA ground is FIFA approved turf custom made for CEFA by Italy based manufacturer Limonto - one of the only six approved manufacturers in the world. To continuously improve the quality of life Coach Emad Foundation also established Health & Boxing club adjacent to CEFA ground where free boxing training & physical exercise facilities are provided. I salute Azfar and his family for bearing their burden with grace and providing a path for others to follow. Knowing what Lyari looks like, how hospitable and amazing the residents are and how immensely talented the youngsters are, I see CEFA as a ray of hope in the darkness that Lyari has been engulfed in for almost a century. I sincerely wish that this initiative leads the establishment to look at Lyari and its residents and take some concrete measures to alleviate poverty in this area as well as rid all the malaise that surrounds that. But to be able to do that we need to ask ourselves, have we heard and understood Lyari? Rashid Khan December 12, 2020 Sincere thanks to Azfar Naqvi, Chairman of Coach Emad Foundation for providing me an insight into the foundation and the activities that it has been engaged in.

Sohail Abbas: Finding Sohail Abbas: Hockey's 'Milestone Man' leads a quiet life | Hockey News

New Post has been published on https://jordarnews.in/sohail-abbas-finding-sohail-abbas-hockeys-milestone-man-leads-a-quiet-life-hockey-news/

Sohail Abbas: Finding Sohail Abbas: Hockey's 'Milestone Man' leads a quiet life | Hockey News

It started in June this year with a message to former India hockey coach Harendra Singh. The context was contacting Pakistan’s hockey legend Sohail Abbas. “Bahut time se kuchh suna nahi uske baare mein (haven’t heard about him for a long time). Waseem se poochhta hu (let me ask Waseem)”. Harendra was talking about Waseem Ahmed, the former Pakistan hockey captain and the most capped (410) Pakistan player. Waseem was in Australia. He settled there in 2015 — living in Melbourne now, attached to the Southern United Hockey Club as a player cum coach. “Just had a chat with Waseem. He was at the ground playing a match, but he sounds positive.” That was the text from Harendra after he checked about Sohail with Waseem. The ‘positive’ was about the chances of contacting Sohail. All this while, Sohail’s number rested undialled in the phonebook of the author, until it was finally used via WhatsApp. First message, second message, third, fourth, fifth – no reply. It was time to ring, take a chance. No success for days. Then one day, a pleasant surprise. The call was answered. “Sohail Bhai, Salaam.” An India number flashing on his phone must have established the call’s relation to the WhatsApp messages from a couple of days ago. “Wa-Alaikum-Salaam! Abhi main grocery kar raha hu. Aap apni introduction message karein (I am grocery-shopping, please introduce yourself over a message)”. It was already done, but no harm repeating it. So an introductory message was sent. Days of silence followed. No message from him. To knock at Sohail’s door once again, former Pakistan captain and coach Tahir Zaman was reached out to for help. “I will try to contact him and try my best. Will update you after having a word with him” was Tahir’s reply. More silence. No update. Nothing from Waseem in Australia or Tahir in Pakistan. Time to call Waseem. “O karda ni gall kise naal zyada, mein puchhdaan (he doesn’t talk much, let me ask),” Waseem said in Punjabi over the phone from Melbourne.

By now, advice had started flowing in from all directions. One was: “Try calling Salman Akbar. Sohail is a good friend of his.” The next call went out to the Netherlands – fourth country contacted in mission ‘Contacting Sohail Abbas’. The new discovery through Salman was that Sohail possibly had a manager. That route wasn’t left unexplored, but all it delivered was a promise initially, followed by no response despite repeated attempts. It was August. Hope was fading, almost given up. Waseem in Australia, Taheer in Pakistan and Salman in Netherlands all tried helping, not to forget Harendra in India, who initiated this thread. But Sohail was becoming as difficult to find as that ball had been to spot, which flew off his stick and rocketed through the Indian net at Amritsar in 2004 for his world record 268th goal, surpassing Netherlands’ Paul Litjens. Umpires couldn’t see it, nor could the defenders. But it was a ‘goal’. This situation was almost similar. Couldn’t contact Sohail, in hope of finally meeting that ‘goal’. September came and went, but perhaps it was destined to happen on October 8, when Sohail would respond — the same day when he scored that world record goal 16 years ago. Sohail replied to a congratulatory WhatsApp message, tagged with a request for two minutes on the phone. ‘Okay, let’s talk. Call,” he wrote back. FINALLY, FOUND SOHAIL This was 348 international goals on the other side of the call across the border. Nobody has come even close to that number since Sohail put his stick down after the 2012 London Olympics. Not to forget, he left the game for two years in between, so make that missing out on at least 75 goals, if not more. When the thread of how messages were sent across four countries to coaches and his former teammates was revealed to Sohail, his reply was straight. “Harendra sir ka message aaya tha. Arre aap bado ko beech mein daal dete hain. Main aisa hi hoon (Harendra messaged, you guys involve seniors, but I am like this only),” he said. “Jab mein khel raha tha, to mein khamosh rehta tha. Logon ko lagta tha ki attitude aa gaya. Jab mein hockey chhodne laga to bole jaan bujh ke kar raha hai…Asal mein logon ki baatein waqt ke saath badalti rahi, par mein andar se abhi bhi waise ka waise hi hu (I used to be quiet in my playing days, so people thought I have an attitude problem. Then when I left the game, they said I am doing it on purpose. So people’s opinion kept changing, but I am still the same).” ‘DICIPLINED LIFE IS MY BEST FRIEND’ If you watch Sohail’s recent interview on BBC Urdu, it would be hard to believe how the world’s highest goal-scorer is not playing still. Of course, he is 45 now and you don’t see quadragenarians playing international hockey. But Sohail, a fitness freak, carries the jawline of a Sylvester Stallone in ‘Rocky Balboa’. In a body-hugging T-shirt, with surely a six pack underneath, his physique can match the best on the field even today. To put it in context, he would probably pass a yo-yo test with embarrassing ease. This lifestyle of training and discipline is his “best friend”, Sohail states.

(YouTube video grab) “Fitness is a discipline, not just running, gym or diet. I think I train more now, not to come back to play hockey but it’s a ‘junoon’ (obsession). I hit the gym for 2-3 hours daily, which includes crossfit, weight training. I even train with my friends who do ‘Ironman’, which includes swimming, cycling, half-marathon. So this training and disciplined life is my best friend — sleep on time, wake up on time, eat on time,” Sohail told TimesofIndia.com. “What I used to do then (during playing days), I did in right earnest, and what I am doing now, I am doing that in right earnest as well.” Talking to Sohail, it’s not difficult to discern that he carries high religious beliefs and trusts whatever God decides for him is best. The hockey legend calls scoring a still standing world record of 348 goals destiny. SILENCE IS GOLDEN “When I was playing hockey, I never knew that I will go on to play so well that I will set a new world record (for goals scored). I always believe in doing the task at hand honestly and leave the rest to God,” said Sohail, who has a job with WAPDA. The conversation grew well past the two-minute promise. No one complained. Sohail was at ease now, almost like he used to be while getting up from the bench to take a penalty corner, score and go back to relax. Job done. That’s how it used to happen in those days with drag-flickers, until Sohail became the leader of Pakistan’s defence and eventually the team’s captain. Sohail retired from international hockey for two years, before deciding to come back. But he remained very cautious of the fact to not put the onus of his decisions on any outside force. “A lot was said about me, but I never reacted. Silence is the biggest weapon (reply). That’s why you don’t see me in the news,” said Sohail, still the only man to score two double hat-tricks and 21 hat-tricks. “People used to say that you are being treated wrongly, you should be in the team. But that’s what those people thought. I always thought of improving myself, because ultimately God decides what you get.” “You say Pakistan hockey needs its legends (to revive the sport). You are right, but that’s for those people to think who are there to take these decisions.”

(Photo Source: Twitter) MILESTONE MAN Decorated with the 2010 Asian Games gold, four Champions Trophy medals and a Commonwealth Games bronze, Sohail was the undisputed ‘goal king’ of his times, despite always ruing the fact that he couldn’t take the team to the podium in any of the three Olympics he played. For the record, he has also scored the most goals in Champions Trophy history (34) and in an international calendar year (60), leading up to his final tally of 348. And he was also the fastest to 100, 200 and 300 goals. “I have always believed that for an Asian team to win an Olympic medal is not a problem, rather we ourselves are the problem…Why we are after foreign coaches is because they are thorough professionals and do their job. They don’t bother about who is from Karachi, Lahore, Amritsar, Delhi, etc. All they know is he is an Indian, same for Pakistan. Such things have brought us down,” Sohail further told TimesofIndia.com. INDIA DIARIES It’s difficult to talk to a Pakistan hockey icon and not touch upon the camaraderie he shared with players from the other side of the border in India. To get him involved, it’s best to mention the name of Indian great Dhanraj Pillay and Jugraj Singh, both of who had rushed fearlessly against Sohail’s lethal drag-flicks. Dhanraj once told Timesofindia.com: “Jab bhi Sohail penalty corner lene aata tha, wo dekhta tha Dhanraj bhai aa rahe hain kya (whenver Sohail used to step up to take a penalty corner, he would see if Dhanraj is coming in to rush). “These are our legends,” said Sohail. “Talking about Dhanraj bhai, he, (Mohammad) Riaz bhai, Shahbaz bhai, we used to watch their brilliance. I have played with them in the league in India (Premier Hockey League) and against them internationally.”

“Once Dhanraj bhai’s shinbone got fractured with my flick, and also once Dilip Tirkey, who is also my good friend. He got hit with my flick at the goal-line and had a broken bone.” Sohail then shared how an angry Dhanraj would react at times on the field without letting the umpire know. “The best thing about Dhanraj bhai was that he was very patriotic and used to fight for his nation. He never carried an attitude. I was a quiet youngster. So he would say, “Arre miyan, tum to bahut hi saade aur sharif ho. Ye to bahut hi acchha bacha hai (you are very reserved, a good kid),” Sohail recalled. “On the ground in India vs Pakistan games, there were heated moments often but even if he (Dhanraj) would get angry, he would swear with a smile on his face, because the (foreign) umpires used to watch our face as they didn’t know our language.” Jugraj, in true sense, was India’s first drag-flick specialist, who unfortunately had his career cut short due to an accident. Sohail picked him and Sandeep as India’s top flickers. “Jugraj was one of the good Indian flickers. He would always ask me, “Paaji kuchh dasso (brother, teach me)”. He took a hockey stick from me as gift, and then even Len Aiyappa took a hockey stick from me. Then there was Sandeep Singh.” ‘INDIA DOING WELL IS GOOD’ ‘What has changed?’ was the next question, especially in context of Pakistan hockey that has hit a nadir. “During our time, there was more hard work. It’s not the same today. The thought now is how to earn fame. Thinking has changed. Whether India or Pakistan, the thinking now is how to make a name for myself, be it any profession. Overall, Indian hockey is doing better, which is a good thing for Asian hockey,” Sohail told TimesofIndia.com. The WhatsApp call had touched 17 minutes now, with potential to grow much longer as the anecdotes had started flowing. And just before the interview was wrapped up, Sohail’s final comment described how mission ‘Contacting Sohail Abbas’ became a success on October 8. “Maze ki baat ye hai ki maine apna Internet bhi abhi on kiya tha. (The funny thing is I had just switched on my internet). The entire day, I didn’t. And then your message came at the same time.”

Diaries from the Frontline: Supporting and Engaging Teachers during COVID-19

Schools in most of the world have been closed for the last couple of months and most developing country governments have not yet announced plans for reopening. Teachers are facing a great deal of uncertainty during this time about school reopenings, the impacts of closures on children and their ability to catch them up, and, fundamentally, about their own livelihoods and the economic effects of the crisis. Following the 2008 economic crisis, there was a dip in education spending in lower-middle income countries which did not recover for years. Case studies indicate that many places did not cut teacher salaries, but may have responded by increasing workloads or pupil-teacher ratios, or freezing teacher hiring and salary increases. The economic downturn from coronavirus is expected to be worse than the 2008 financial crisis, but even if countries choose to protect teacher salaries within public budgets, private school teachers will remain vulnerable. Low-cost private schools in particular have been unable to continue paying teacher salaries with schools closed and parents unable to pay fees. Last week we looked at how two education nonprofits are trying to sustain learning from a distance during COVID-19. This week, we are looking at how these organizations are supporting their own teachers and principals. The Citizens Foundation (TCF) and the Luminos Fund are operating in different contexts but both have been able to sustain operations and continue to support teaching staff and other personnel. Their experiences show that teachers, not buildings, are the backbone of any school system. And even while schools are closed, there is evidence that teachers are continuing to keep students engaged with learning.

The Luminos Fund: Teaching during emergencies

Teachers in Luminos’s Second Chance programs are young men and women hired from the counties and communities that Luminos serves. Similar to students, many teachers’ families in Liberia face fragile economic situations during COVID. When the COVID crisis struck, Luminos recognized the importance of keeping staff and teachers on salary even if schools closed. First, from an educational standpoint, if Luminos laid off teachers in Liberia, it would be challenging to be ready to reopen schools or proactively re-enroll students when the crisis ends, particularly if teachers relocate to live with family members. Second, from a humanitarian standpoint, putting a hold on salaries adds enormous financial strain to an already vulnerable population. Holding salaries would actively harm poor families. Thanks to increased flexibility from its core funders, Luminos has been able to continue paying teachers their full salaries. This support has also enabled Luminos to pivot quickly and shift staff from core classroom programming to providing learning materials, rice, soap, and detergent to students’ homes in Liberia.

One of the communities served by a Luminos school.

Teachers have gone above and beyond to help students continue learning during lockdown. Varney is a Second Chance teacher who lives and teaches in a rural village in Liberia. When the government issued guidance to limit gatherings to ten people at the start of coronavirus, he continued teaching his class of 30 children, broken into smaller groups of ten or less. Since the full lockdown began and Luminos began distributing learning materials (which were designed with input from some of Luminos’s teachers), Varney walks by students’ houses, keeping a distance, to give them lessons and make sure they have completed them. He says his students are eager to return to school. Varney and his family, like many teachers, have also been personally affected by COVID: they’ve faced economic hardship and are eating less. Another teacher, James, also goes door-to-door to check on his Second Chance students—from a distance—to ensure they are making use of the books that Luminos provided. He says his students’ families are most concerned about food security, and notes that his own family is also eating less during COVID. He is confident his students will return to school when it reopens but says it will be challenging for them to catch up. He says he hopes this academic year can be extended to ensure these children “come out victoriously.” Other Second Chance teachers do not live in the communities where they teach and, due to the lockdown and curfews, have few options to ensure their students are making progress on the reading and math materials that Luminos provided, or help students on a day-to-day basis. In these cases, Luminos supervisors check in with the students weekly. Luminos’s experiences could provide lessons for Liberia more broadly and other countries. George Werner, former Minister of Education in Liberia and a member of the Luminos Fund’s advisory board, recently observed that the organization’s model for recruiting and training teachers could be scaled to build a cadre of "emergency teachers" to work alongside mainstream systems and provide rapid response capacity to get children back to school after crises like COVID. "The Luminos Fund hires high potential young people who are often only Grade 10 graduates and provides them with three weeks of intensive training followed by weekly in-classroom coaching," Werner says. "For countries with massively stretched school systems and average class sizes already in the 50+ range, this is an effective, practical auxiliary option to educate children. "Education is in an emergency now worldwide, but for many countries in Africa, education has been in an emergency for decades. Normalcy does not apply in an emergency. All emergencies need radical thinking."

TCF: Supporting female teachers

Imagine writing your employer a thank you letter for paying your salary. That’s what happened at TCF last month. When salaries were disbursed in the days before May 1, principals and teachers responded with letters of appreciation, including messages like, “When our world is in lockdown, jobs and salaries are not safe, our organization did not abandon us… Even in this lockdown, we were given our salaries at our doorsteps in a respectful manner. It is rare to find such examples among other organizations.” TCF employs only women on its faculty and is the largest private employer of women in Pakistan. Often, these are young women who got permission from their families to work as teachers because it was seen as a safe and respectable way to engage in employment, even in a small village or katchi abadi (informal settlement or slum). Now with COVID-19, they may be the only ones in their households who are still receiving paychecks on time (or at all) when their husbands, brothers, or fathers may not be. This impacts their role and the way their employment is perceived by their families. Continuing to pay and support teachers and principals has enabled TCF to concentrate on ensuring that children in their schools are cared for and have access to learning materials. Like a group of Teach for Pakistan fellows who evolved the idea of a WhatsApp-based school, TCF school leaders have, on their own initiative, been collecting the phone numbers of their students and forming WhatsApp classrooms using videos, voice notes, and text messages. “Our WhatsApp group has a timetable. Teachers assign tasks based on the timetable, and students share their work on the group, which teachers give them feedback on,” said Sumaira Aslam, a principal in inner-city Karachi. “There are many students who don’t use WhatsApp. For them, we send them the same tasks over SMS. For students we haven’t reached, we have put a sign on the gate and asked teachers to convey the message throughout the community.” Sajida Ambreen, a principal at another school in Karachi, has made students responsible for collecting the phone numbers of their friends. She monitors the participation of students and teachers. “Girls have the strongest participation,” she said, “The boys are busy. But they can listen to the voice note lectures when they get off from work.” She said despite the lockdown boys were working as shopkeepers, drivers, tailors, or doing overnight shifts at the nearby textile mills. “In our community, kids support the parents to run the house. Some parents have just let go and the kids pay their own fees. Others have fathers who are ill.”

TCF principals connecting with students via WhatsApp.

These programs are led by TCF’s principals. To reach the many students who do not have mobile phones or internet, another principal posted notices on the school gates and enlisted the chowkidhar (gatekeeper) to deliver the message to families. Alongside these faculty-led initiatives, TCF is designing learning materials that can be exchanged with teachers via drop-off points in the community. Although families pay a small fee for children to attend schools, TCF operates mostly through philanthropic donations. The current economic recession, combined with the cancellation of fundraising events, could be a threat to TCF’s ongoing ability to cover costs. However, TCF’s philanthropic base is diversified, with a mix of local, diaspora, corporate, foundation, high net worth individuals, and crowd-funded philanthropy. Also, a large proportion of giving to TCF is motivated by zakat, a religious requirement that Muslims must donate 2.5 percent of their wealth. Zakat is calculated as a proportion of wealth, rather than income, so it is less affected by economic cycles of growth and recession. In these uncertain times, these aspects of TCF’s funding model can help protect their large school network.

Next week, we will take a deeper look at how these organizations are planning to prepare teachers, school leaders, and children for school reopenings. Thanks to Maryam Akmal, Dave Evans and Susannah Hares for their helpful comments.

Performance: Favela ballet, Kathak and the Circus of My Sun | Al Jazeera Selects by Al Jazeera English Rio's Favela Ballerinas In Brazil's favelas, it is not unusual to find dead bodies or see people selling drugs on every corner. The victims of gang violence and stray police bullets are often children and teenagers. But Tuany Nascimento, an experienced dancer, has taken it upon herself to become a teacher for young girls in the Alemao slum of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. "I started dancing when I was five. I already knew then that I wanted to dance. Whenever I had any free time, I practised. Then the girls showed up and asked me to teach them what I know." Her classes offer a window of opportunity for the girls while keeping them away from the frequent violence that surrounds them. Karachi's Kathak Dance For Sheema Kermani dance in Pakistan is activism. She has championed gender equality and freedom of expression her entire life in a society that often represses these rights, especially for women. "Since 1983 I have been teaching and I have been performing. What I do is try and create something we can call Pakistani classical dance that means something to me living in this society, as a woman in this very patriarchal, very religious atmosphere," Kermani says. Kermani creates a safe space for women to learn Kathak, a form of classical Indian dance. For many of the women participating, her training gives them the courage to live their lives as freely as they can and to stand up against the challenges they face. "When these girls come to me they are a little hunched up, their spines are not straight because they are constantly told that they must hide their bodies, they must not be expressive with their bodies, be ashamed of our bodies. And that is what I want to subvert. I want them to be proud of their bodies," Kermani says. Kermani and her students travel to different communities and perform plays and dances that address social issues, like the medical negligence of women and domestic abuse. The performances are acts of defiance and solidarity as well as community outreach. "Activism. That is what really is important in performing arts. That you provoke people to think. You move them to question their own lives," Kermani says. Circus of My Sun When the circus school in Morocco opens its doors to young children living on the streets, it offers them hope and opportunity. The school presents a pathway out of struggle, under the glimmering lights of the stage. "Before it became the national circus school, this was a project for disadvantaged children," acrobatic coach Imed explains. "As we got better known, we did a small project which did well. And so we became the national circus school." The Circus of My Sun school, also known as Cirque Shemsy, gained academic recognition in 2009. Students can gain a diploma recognised by the Moroccan state after four and a half years of professional training. Circus performances are not common in Morocco. For many of the young artists, the circus school becomes their home, family and an important chance to pursue their dreams. Circus performances are not common in Morocco.

Javed Miandad

Mohammad Javed Miandad (Urdu: محمد جاوید میانداد) (born 12 June 1957), popularly known as Javed Miandad (Urdu: جاوید میانداد), is a former Pakistani cricketer who played between 1975 and 1996. He is Pakistan's leading run scorer in Test cricket. ESPNcricinfo described him as "the greatest batsman Pakistan has ever produced".[1] He has served as a captain of the Pakistan national cricket team. He is widely known for – his historic last ball big sixer against India in 1986, when 4 runs were required to win – winning an international game in that fashion for the first time.[2] After his playing career, he has remained the coach of Pakistan cricket team at various occasions, as well as held positions in the Pakistan Cricket Board. He had three coaching stints with the Pakistan national team

Early life

Javed Miandad was born on 12 June 1957 in Karachi.[4] His parents moved from Palanpur, Gujarat, India.[citation needed] Javed Miandad is a Tyagi (Muslim).[5] Cricket was his family game.[4] He had three brothers play first-class cricket in Pakistan: Anwar Miandad, Sohail Miandad and Bashir Miandad.[6][7][8] His nephew, Faisal Iqbal, is also a Test cricketer.[9]

International career

Test career

Miandad made his Test debut against New Zealand at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore on 9 October 1976. He scored 163 in this match, to become the youngest player at the time to do so at an age of 19 years and 119 days.[10] In the same series he scored a double century, and on his way broke George Headley's 47-year record, to become the youngest player to achieve the feat.[11]

Pakistan first Test captain, Abdul Hafeez Kardar, when saw the young batsman during 70s, famously predicted Miandad "the find of the decade".[1] His inclusion in the Pakistan team was itself an achievement. A formidable batting line-up of Majid Khan, Sadiq Muhammad, Zaheer Abbas, Asif Iqbal, Mushtaq Muhammad and Wasim Raja was hard to break into, but Miandad's raw talent made it possible and he become an integral part of Pakistan's strong batting line.

Javed Miandad played 124 Test matches, batting in 189 innings. His aggregate of 8,832 Test runs is a Pakistani record. Even though his test career spanned 17 years, he failed to make it into the top-most category of batsmen with test aggregates of over 10,000 runs.[1][12] Miandad's 23 centuries and 43 fifties were Pakistani national records, until they were broken by Inzamam-ul-Haq. Miandad's Test career batting average of 52.57 is currently the highest for Pakistani batsmen. He scored six double centuries which is the most by a Pakistani and 6th overall. He has honour of scoring centuries in both innings in the 100th test match against New Zealand.[13] He made his highest score of 280 not out against India.Pakistan went on to win that match by an innings and 119 runs.[14]

Miandad scored a Test century in his first match against India at the Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, in 1978.[15] With 154 not out in the match, he completed his first 1,000 Test runs at the age of 21 years and 126 days.[16] This was his 23rd innings and 14th match. He scored 2,000 Test runs in 42 innings for which he took 24 matches. He also scored centuries in the each innings of a Test match, 104 and 103 not out, against New Zealand at the Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad, in November 1984.[17] He scored six double centuries which are the most by a Pakistan batsman.[16]

In 1992, during the Pakistan tour to England, he scored 153 not out in the first Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham.[18] From then to his retirement he scored 578 runs, without scoring a century, at the average of 32.11 in 11 Tests. He made only four half-centuries during that period.[19]

One Day International career

Miandad made his One Day International debut against the West Indies at Edgbaston, Birmingham in the 1975 Cricket World Cup. Interestingly, his last ODI was also a World Cup match, and Pakistan lost the match. More, he scored 2 fours and 0 sixes and his strike rate was below 100 in both of his, first and last ODI innings.[20][21] His highest ODI score came against India at the Gaddafi Stadium in a match which Pakistan lost in 1982. He scored 119 not out off 77 balls with a strike rate of 154.54 in the match.[3][22]

Miandad is famously known for last ball six against India during the final of 1986 Austral-Asia Cup. In a great finale, the last over bowled by Chetan Sharma began with 11 runs required. Two wickets fell during the over with Pakistan needing 4 runs and India one wicket from the last ball. Miandad hit the ball, low full-toss from Sharma, for a six into the crowd.[23] Pakistan recorded their first win at a major tournament and Miandad finished his innings with 116 not out.[24][25] This is still considered as one of the most historic moments in the history of ODI cricket and he became a national hero.[3][26][27]

Javed Miandad is the first (and one of the only two, other being Sachin Tendulkar) player to have played in six World Cups, the first six, from 1975 to 1996.

Captaincy

After the retirement of Asif Iqbal following a loss of a series to India, 22 years old Miandad was made the captain of Pakistan.[28] The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) preferred him over the senior cricketers like Zaheer Abbas, Sarfraz Nawaz, Majid Khan and Wasim Bari who were still playing. He faced a little opposition but his first two series as captain, in 1981/82, included a win against Australia, and a credible 0–1 loss to the West Indies.[29][30] After a tough tour of Australia, oppostion to his captaincy gained strength, and his first captaincy period ended during the following home series against Sri Lanka.[31][32]

Coaching and commentary

As a coach, Javed Miandad guided Pakistan to test victories in the Asian Test Championship and in India during 1998–99 season, when Wasim Akram was captain. Miandad also later assisted with coaching Pakistani batsmen.[33]

Following this he was offered broadcasting and coaching positions in India.[34] Also in November 2010 it was being planned to give Miandad a role as a batting coach.[35] Miandad was again appointed as a batting consultant for the 2012 twenty20 World Cup in SriLanka

Personal life

Javed Miandad married Tahira Saigol in 1980. He has two sons and a daughter.His son Junaid Miandad is married to Mahrukh Ibrahim, daughter of Dawood Ibrahim, an Indian born underworld kingpin who currently resides in Pakistan.Miandad told the press that his son and Ibrahim's daughter met while studying together in the UK.[36] In 2011, Miandad recorded Naat for Geo TV; his "Sakoon Paya" was well received by his fans but he did not subsequently read any more Naat.[37].[3]

Under the captaincy of Asif Iqbal in 1979–80, Pakistan toured India and played a six-Test match series against them.[29] Miandad was one of the most "consistent" batsmen, scoring 421 runs—behind Sunil Gavaskar's 529 and Wasim Raja's 450—with the help of four fifties, averaged 42.10.[30][31] During the third series at the Wankhede Stadium, Bombay, he completed 2,000 Test runs of his career; he took 42 innings and 24 matches to achieve the feat, and became the fastest Pakistani to do so.[22][32] In the same season, Miandad was appointed as Pakistan's captain for the first time, against the touring Australia.[33] He scored 181 runs at the average over 60 in the series, including 106 runs not out at the Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, and Pakistan won the three-match series 1–0.[33][34] In the solitary series of the 1980–81 at home, against the West Indies, Miandad scored 230 runs at the average of 32.85.[35] He scored 60 of the 128 runs in the Pakistan's first innings of the third Test match, after they were 14 runs for four wickets.[36][37] In the 1981–82, during the Pakistan's tour of Australia, Miandad captained the Pakistan team in three Test maches. During the first Test at Perth, he involved in an unpleasent controversy with Dennis Lillee—Lillee blocked his way while he was taking a single runs.[38] Pakistan lost the first two matches of the series, but they won the third Test at Malbourne by an innings and 82 runs, and finished the series 2–1.[39] Miandad batted consistently throughout the series, but could get support from his team-mates as a captain.[38] He scored 205 runs from five innings at the average of 41.00, including two half-centuries.[40]

In the home series of the same season against Sri Lanka, he captained the team in three Tests, although the players refused to play under his captaincy following the Lillee-Miandad controversy. Pakistan won the series by 2–0, with Miadad scoring 176 at the average over 35, including 92 runs at the National Stadium.[41][42] After the refusal of senior players to play under Miandad captaincy, Imran Khan was appointed as a new captain for the 1982 England tour; Khan was leading the team for the first time.[41][43] Pakistan lost the three-Test match series 2–1, with Miandad scoring 178 runs at the average of 35.60.[41][44] In his next series against the touring Australia, he scored his eighth century—138 runs—in the third Test at the Gaddafi Stadium, and ensured Pakistan's third succesive win in the series.[45][46] On his performance in the series, the cricket almanack Wisden noted that he "grew further in stature as an international batsman, his youthful audacity now being supplanted by a technical competence and insatiable appetite for runs."[47]

In their home series against India in 1982–83, Pakistan played six Tests and defeated them by 3–0; Pakistan's victories at Karachi, Hyderabad and Faisalabad were gained by large margins.[48] Miandad's consistency of scoring runs, along with Zaheer, Mudassar and Mohsin Khan, crushed the Indian bowling line. Miandad was the third highest run-scorer, with 594 runs – after Mudassar's 761 and Zaheer's 650 runs – at the average of 118.80; they made the record for the three top batsmen in any Test series.[49] Miandad and Mudassar's partnership of 451 runs in the Hyderabad Test constituted a new world record for the third wicket, and equalled the all-time record for any Test wicket,made by Don Bradman and Bill Ponsford in 1938.[49] They became the first two Pakistani batsmen to score double-centuries in an inning.[50] Miandad scored his career best 280 not out, before the captain Imran Khan, decided to declare the innings, thus stopping him from "possibly breaking the individual Test world record of Sir Garfield Sobers".[51][52] Cricket critics call this "one of the worst decisions by Imran as captain of Pakistan" as he "didn't even give him a particular time or the number of overs he could bat on for."[52] Miandad, however never expressed displeasure on the decision.[52] Pakistan visited India in 1983–84 under the captaincy of Zaheer, and played a leveled three-Test match series.[53] Miandad scored 225 runs in the series at the average of 75.00, including 99 runs at Bangalore.[54][55] Miandad scored 131 runs against Australia at the Adelaide Oval, the third Test of the series between the teams.[56] He could not perform consistently and finished the series with 302 runs at average of over 33, with Pakistan lost the five-match series 2–0.[57][58]

During 1984–88

Miandad scored centuries in the each innings of the second Test of the 1984–85 series against New Zealand; he scored 104 and 103 not out at the Niaz Stadium, Hyderabad. In the second innings of the match, he established a partnership of 212 runs for third wicket with Mudassar, a Pakistani record at that time. This was the 1,000 match in the history of Test cricket.[59] He was the highest run-scorer of the series, with 337 runs at the average over 84;[60] Pakistan won the series 2–0.[61] Miandad captained the Pakistan cricket team in the next series against the same team, which was played in New Zealand. He could not maintained his previous form against them, and only managed to score 138 runs, averaged below 28.[62][63] During 1985–86 Sri Lankan tour to Pakistan, three Test matches were played between the teams.[64] Miandad, who was captaining Pakistan, made his third double century in the first Test at Iqbal Stadium. During his innings of 203 not out, he made a partnership of 397 runs with Qasim Umar—who also made a double century in the innings—for third wicket, which was eighth highest overall and second highest for the third wicket at that time.[65] Miandad's score of 306 runs from three innings were the most by any batsmen in the series, and his average for the score was 153.00. [66] In the same season Pakistan visited Sri Lanka, and played three Tests against them. During the second Test, Two unpleasant incidents occurred: when an umpire started rubbing the new ball replaced with the older one on the ground, during Pakistan's second innings after sixteen overs to get the similar characteristics; Pakistan manager came to the umpire and showed him the 1985 Wisden's relevant Law; and Miandad's disagreement to the umpire's decision of lbw against him. Later on someone from the crowd threw a stone upon Miandad, and he went upstairs into the crowd to take revenge from the spectator.[67][68]

Later career

In 1992, during the Pakistan tour to England, he scored 153 not out in the first Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham.[69] From then to his retirement he scored 578 runs, without scoring a century, at the average of 32.11 in 11 Tests. He made only four half-centuries during that period.[70]

Miandad played 124 Test matches, batting in 189 innings. His aggregate of 8,832 Test runs is a Pakistani record. Even though his test career spanned 17 years, he failed to make it into the top-most category of batsmen with test aggregates of over 10,000 runs.[1][71] Miandad's 23 centuries and 43 fifties were Pakistani national records, until they were broken by Inzamam-ul-Haq. Miandad's Test career batting average of 52.57 is currently the highest for Pakistani batsmen. He scored six double centuries which is the most by a Pakistani and 6th overall. He has honour of scoring centuries in both innings in the 100th test match against New Zealand.[72] He made his highest score of 280 not out against India.Pakistan went on to win that match by an innings and 119 runs.[73] He scored six double centuries which are the most by a Pakistan batsman.[22]

One Day International career

Miandad made his One Day International debut against the West Indies at Edgbaston, Birmingham in the 1975 Cricket World Cup. Interestingly, his last ODI was also a World Cup match, and Pakistan lost the match. More, he scored 2 fours and 0 sixes and his strike rate was below 100 in both of his, first and last ODI innings.[74][75] His highest ODI score came against India at the Gaddafi Stadium in a match which Pakistan lost in 1982. He scored 119 not out off 77 balls with a strike rate of 154.54 in the match.[3][76]

Miandad is famously known for last ball six against India during the final of 1986 Austral-Asia Cup. In a great finale, the last over bowled by Chetan Sharma began with 11 runs required. Two wickets fell during the over with Pakistan needing 4 runs and India one wicket from the last ball. Miandad hit the ball, low full-toss from Sharma, for a six into the crowd.[77] Pakistan recorded their first win at a major tournament and Miandad finished his innings with 116 not out.[78][79] This is still considered as one of the most historic moments in the history of ODI cricket and he became a national hero.[3][80][81]

Javed Miandad is the first (and one of the only two, other being Sachin Tendulkar) player to have played in six World Cups, the first six, from 1975 to 1996.

Captaincy

After the retirement of Asif Iqbal following a loss of a series to India, 22 years old Miandad was made the captain of Pakistan.[82] The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) preferred him over the senior cricketers like Zaheer Abbas, Sarfraz Nawaz, Majid Khan and Wasim Bari who were still playing. He faced a little opposition but his first two series as captain, in 1981/82, included a win against Australia, and a credible 0–1 loss to the West Indies.[83][84] After a tough tour of Australia, oppostion to his captaincy gained strength, and his first captaincy period ended during the following home series against Sri Lanka.[85][86].[3]
