==Later life==
Javed Zaman worked in different capacities on the [[Pakistan Cricket Board]] (PCB) on an honorary basis. As the PCB's adviser on grassroots level, he resigned in 2008 citing domestic problems as the reason, although there were speculations about PCB authorities requesting his resignation due to him being close with former Director Special Projects Salim Altaf, who was dismissed with two others for leaking news to the press. Zaman tendered his resignation while emphasising the ethical and legal concerns regarding the alleged [[cellphone surveillance]] of Altaf.<ref name="cricketworld">{{cite news|url=https://www.cricketworld.com/farewell-to-zaman-park-veterans/58246.htm|website=www.cricketworld.com|title=Farewell to Zaman Park veterans|year=2019}}</ref>
