Pakistan Fails to Get Coach for Cricket Team as Most Candidates Committed to IPL

Pakistan cricket team will have no head coach for the five-match T20I series against New Zealand, because the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB)’s is unable to hire a foreign coach as most coaches are already committed to the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The efforts of the PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi to hire a foreign coach for the team have not been successful.

The PCB’s efforts to hire Andy Flower, former English coach and Australia’s Simon Katich have already failed. West Indies’ Darren Sammy and Australia’s Shane Watson have denied to coach the Pakistan team.

Sources revealed that most of the foreign coaches have refused to join the PCB because of their commitments with the IPL.

Failure to hire a foreign coach has left the Pakistan cricket team to go into two important series without a head coach and supporting staff. Pakistan will be going into the five-match T20I series against New Zealand and then a four-match T20I series in England without a head coach.
