The Pakistan Cricket Board may have decided to continue with his services, but coach Javed Miandad is "not jumping with joy". Instead, he is having a rethink on his "future plans".

"I am hurt and upset at the way the Board has created uncertainty and put a question mark on my integrity and credibility as coach. I am not jumping with joy because the Board now says that they will allow me to complete my two-year coaching contract. I will now have to think about my future plans," Miandad said.

PCB chairman Shaharyar Khan had said on Tuesday that Miandad would be coach of the team until his contract expires next year.

But Miandad said he is not happy at the way things had gone after the home series loss to India.

"I am not a child anymore. I know all these things. Since we lost to India there have been attempts to shift the blame on the coach and the Board has also really made no effort to defend my role and only added to the uncertainty," he was quoted as saying in Islamabad media on Wednesday.

"If on the basis of one series they can question my credibility, integrity, standing and dedication to Pakistan cricket, then should I be content simply because they have now decided I should continue?"

Miandad, serving his third term as Pakistan coach, also said he would be seeking a meeting with the PCB chairman and Chief Executive in the next few days to discuss and sort out a number of issues.

"One of them is the extent of my authority and say in the team. They are willing to hold the coach responsible for a poor performance. But the fact is I have done my best with the limitations I have worked with," Miandad said.

"My position, honestly, is that I don't even have the authority to ask for a player to be in the team. Then what is my role? To just guide the boys, plan and build a strategy which I have tried to do since taking over as coach?"

Miandad hinted that during his meeting with PCB officials he would try to convince them to allow him more say in team matters.

"The players need to realise that if they don't follow advice their places in the team are on the line. I should not have to tell players who have played enough number of matches how to avoid bowling no-balls and wides."
