Foreigner’s players have failed to rope for the post of head coach of the national cricket team, however, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) wants to replace Waqar Younis with a foreigner but so far it has failed to rope in anybody despite offering the job to the likes of England’s Peter Moores, Australian Tom Moody and South Africa’s Paddy Upton. All of them turned down PCB’s offer. And the latest, Stuart Law, a former Australian Test batsman, Law is the second foreigner after former England Coach Peter Moores has already turned down the head coaching role for team Pakistan.
According to local media reports, The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shahryar Khan said on Tuesday that they have decided on the name of the new head coach but refused to reveal the identity. He added, “We will name the coach within two to three days after due consultation. Everyone has forwarded his opinion during the meeting.”
Former Head Coach Waqar Younis stepped down from his post on April 4. The post fell vacant after Waqar Younis resigned owing to Pakistan’s recent poor show in the Asia Cup T20 and World T20 2016.
Earlier, former Pakistan players Aaqib Javed and Mohsin Khan have refused to apply, alleging favouritism in the process. However, Javed resigned as United Arab Emirates coach last month and is now involved with the Pakistan Super League’s Lahore franchise.
Pakistan has dropped to ninth position in latest ICC One Day Internationals (ODI) rankings.
