Calcutta, March 19 :    Calcutta, March 19:  Shahryar Khan didn?t arrive with the Pakistan team Wednesday, but he landed in New Delhi this afternoon. And, if time wasn?t a factor, Khan ? an old hand at calling for better Indo-Pak relations ? would probably have taken the Lahore-Delhi bus. Still, Khan certainly got the timing right: His arrival coincided with Pakistan?s stunning win in Jamshedpur. Retained manager for the tri-series, Khan will join the team tomorrow when Wasim Akram and Co. break journey in Delhi en route to Jaipur (for the India match, March 24). ?Of course, it?s so very nice to be back in India,? the Bhopal-born Khan told The Telegraph, adding that a United Nations conference, in New York, and a Princeton University-organised seminar in New Mexico, had kept him off the circuit for three weeks. ?Actually, I haven?t been in touch with the boys after the first-leg of the India tour. I wasn?t around during the Lahore Test and I didn?t go to Dhaka,? Khan remarked. Hand-picked by foreign minister Sartaj Aziz for the managership, Khan couldn?t ?brief? him after the Tests (last month), but he did have a t?te-?-t?te with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, in Lahore. The UN conference focussed on the body?s peace-keeping operations, while the seminar?s theme was South Asia. Khan, incidentally, is a former foreign secretary and UN special envoy (to Rwanda). Clearly, Khan is much sought after. And while he?s busy fulfilling one commitment or the other, work on the re-structuring of the Pakistan Foreign Office is getting delayed ? it?s Khan?s brief, as head of a select committee, to suggest changes. Emphasising that, in effect, the current visit was ?a continuation? of the January-February trip, Khan said: ?That visit ended in front of empty stands (Eden Gardens) but, really, we wouldn?t like to make too much of that, After all, on the first three days, the Eden crowd had been very sporting. ?This time, we?re looking forward to finishing in front of packed terraces. Hopefully, it will be in Bangalore (final, April 4).? Khan, incidentally, didn?t quite go along with a Calcutta Police report that nailed Ijaz Ahmed and Yousuf Youhana for inciting the crowd. ?We conducted our own inquiry and let me tell you that while I didn?t see what Youhana did or didn?t do, I was looking towards Ijaz and my understanding is that he was asking fans to cool down. ?He?s too experienced a player to...? Khan added: ?As we see it, the gestures may have been misunderstood. Of course, one can?t pove anything, but one of the things we?ve heard is that people had placed heavy bets and, so, could have been looking for an abandonment.? The jury is still out on the Eden fiasco, but the eternal diplomat that he is, Khan will only say so much and nothing more. Definitely more comfortable in a Test series ambience ? ?One-day cricket is a travesty? is what he?d said last month ? Khan today ackowledged the abridged version ?has some spice?. He put it thus: ?Well, Test cricket is the real Test, but if a team slides from 148 for no loss to 160 for six, in no time (as Pakistan did this morning), then what does one say? I suppose one-day cricket is a bit exotic...? It seems Khan, too, is gearing up for the World Cup.
