Lahore, Feb 20 (UNI) Leaving no stone unturned in its preparation for the World Cup, the Pakistan Cricket Board has called on former greats Imran Khan, Wasim Akram and Javed Miandad to give winning tips to Inzamam-ul Haq's side before their departure to the Caribbean next month.

''The Chairman PCB invited the former greats to visit the Pakistan Cricket team and give pep talks and advise them on fine-tuning their strategies for the forthcoming World Cup,'' a PCB spokesman was quoted by the Associated Press of Pakistan as sayng.

The spokesman said the PCB chief was confident of a good show at the World Cup but wants the former players to boost the morale of the team with their experience.

''If our all players are fit, there is no reason why our team cannot advance in the tournament,'' Dr Ashraf said.

Apart from Akram, Imran and Miandad, others who have been called include Intikhab Alam, Zaheer Abbass, Hanif Mohammad and Mushtaq Mohammad.
