UAE travel to Melbourne on Saturday to play Australia and Afghanistan to acclimatise to conditions there.
"You need to know the pitch behaviour [and venue] atmosphere," says the former Pakistan international, who stresses it isn't something just for batsmen to experience but bowlers, too.
He throws the fielders into the matrix, emphasising the need for them to judge positioning under high balls in swirling winds.
It is the best-prepared UAE team to compete in a tournament.
"Usually the impression of UAE from the [previous] World Cup is they are not fit, they can't field and they have a shortage of international bowlers."
Immediately after UAE qualified for the cup in Christchurch last year, Javed drove home the significance of professionalism.
"First of all, you need to look good, fit," he says, becoming the primary critic as coach to record incremental gains for a universal level of fitness. Secondly, if you're fielding and not running and diving or sliding after the ball - stopping it [the ball] with the boot - that's the kind of criticism you're going to get."
Nine months ago, UAE bought crash mats to put their players through diving, sliding routines.
The result was overwhelming - from 25 per cent of fielders to 90-plus per cent now willing to throw themselves around when fielding.
Last August they played games against first-class teams boasting several internationals in Australia.
The first was a close loss and the second, against South Australia, came down to a two-wicket defeat.
"We gave them a really hard time and won against PNG and Northern Territory so we think we gained a lot of respect from Australian people ... they were really impressed."
More success came in the five-match series against Pakistan A - two wins - who had 11 internationals including Bilawal Bhatti, whose deliveries can reach speeds of 140 km/h. They beat Pakistan 3-1 in a four-match ODI series in Pakistan.
Javed doesn't want UAE to be one of those teams who make it to cup level then become stuck in the doldrums akin to the Zimbabawe, Ireland and Bangladeshis of the world post-world cups.
"Our goal is to prove a point that UAE deserve to be part of the world cup."
No doubt, his men are persevering and "still behind the top teams".
"But we can push half of the international sides really hard."
This cup won't be just about holding their own against fellow minnows.
"Every team will have a bad day, okay, or soft periods in their game so if you capitalise on their bad day to make it your best day, this is how you're going to win."
Javed's men face Zimbabwe, Ireland, India, Pakistan (Napier, March 4), South Africa and West Indies (Napier, March 15).
"I feel we can push hard against Zimbabwe and Ireland and, to some extent, against Pakistan and West Indies."
Their innings totals against other associate countries hover around the 265-plus mark but peter out to 200 against top ranked sides such as South Australia.
He finds comfort in the data that his bowlers can contain oppositions to a par 210-220 total, offering UAE a chance of victory if they score 230-240.
"It's not about living in a fool's paradise, telling them, 'Come on, guys, push hard, it's not like that'."
"It's about crossing that 230 threshold to offer bowlers something to work on."
Fear isn't part of UAE's constitution. They have been working on short-pitched, bouncing deliveries religiously.
Captain Mohammed Tauqir brings orthodox off-spin option and Nasir Aziz is "quite brilliant" in mixing carom balls with drifters.
Aziz came under ICC scrutiny in 2010 for his bowling action with doosras (spin in the opposite direction of an off-break ball) but the UAE stable here couldn't confirm if the ban on his "main weapon" had been lifted.
Khurram Khan is the best associate cricketer, ordained as the best batsman at the Intercontinental Cup last year as well as the qualifier in Christchurch.
"He became the oldest batsman in scoring a hundred against Afghanistan," he says of Khan, who retired for 60-odd against the CD XI on Monday.
Mohammad Naveed is the excitement machine - "people will definitely love him".
Navir bowls around 140km/h and has all the variations in his repertoire.
