[SLICKR392]

Aaqib Javed, the former Pakistan fast bowler, has signed a three-year contract as head coach of United Arab Emirates. He is already in the UAE but will start the job full-time from April 1. Javed had emerged as a candidate for the position in February while he was still employed as bowling coach of Pakistan during their series against England in the UAE. Dilawar Mani, the chief-executive officer of the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB), said the board wanted to wait till that series was over before announcing Javed as UAE coach.
