Former India coach Greg Chappell has turned down an offer to take up the reins of Pakistan's cricket team, saying that he does not intend to coach at the international level anymore. He said he was approached by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to replace Intikhab Alam after team's disastrous tour.
"Wasim Bari (chief operating officer, PCB) rang me on Tuesday. I was honoured and flattered by the approach but I have declined the invitation," Indian daily, Indian Express quoted him, as saying.
The former Australia captain, who had a tumultuous stint in India before being sacked following the team's disastrous World Cup campaign in 2007, is currently the head coach at Australia's Centre of Excellence and chairman of the National Youth Selection Panel. "I have no ambition to coach at the international level again and I am committed to my role with CA as Head Coach at the Centre of Excellence and Chairman of our National Youth Selection Panel," Chappell said.
