The Pakistan team gets a new head coach
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to appoint selection committee member Mohammad Yousuf as interim coach for the home T20 series against New Zealand later this month. Abdul Razzaq has now been appointed assistant coach. This decision was made only for the upcoming series. The decision was made as talks continue with foreign coaches Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie over a long-term role.
Gary Kirsten can become the team’s head coach
A reliable source in the Pakistan Cricket Board said that talks with Gillespie are almost complete as he has agreed to take over as head coach of the red-ball format. Talks with Kirsten are ongoing as he is busy with the Indian Premier League.
The source said Gillespie agreed but set out conditions regarding his fees and the number of days he would be present in Pakistan. The source said the former Australian fast bowler will be available after the T20 World Cup as Pakistan continues its World Test Championship campaign against Bangladesh, England and South Africa. If everything goes according to plan, Kirsten will be the new coach of the white ball format.
