Azhar Ali - really? He might struggle to keep his Test spot come September, so making him Captain assures him 2-3 years pension - he'll definitely be a great boy Captain for PCB for sure. I had 3 captains for 3 teams, don't think reducing it to 2 changes much - either you find someone like Kohli, Will & Smith (or Shakib - he'll lead ODI team as well after WC) for 3 formats, otherwise better to go for best fit. In my list, may be they can make Babar test captain as well, doesn't matter much.
For the coaching staff, I don't think Arthur will retain his job unless PAK does really well in WC (say make the Finals at least) - in that case Mickey deserves to stay may be. But, I was more into PAK's Test team which is probably at it's lowest point since 1960s (don't bother about ranking - PAK isn't better Test team than SRL and will lose comfortably both series against BD, because PAK's home series will be played in UAE). Since MA has taken charge, only silver lining is 3-3 in ENG, otherwise else where result is shambolic: 4-2 against WIN is probably something remotely acceptable, though current WIN will blow PAK in their home. 0-2 & 1-2 against Kiwis, 0-3 & 1-0 against AUS, 0-2 against SRL and latest is this SAF tour. PAK should expect better return than this. The other options you mentioned - I doubt.
Moody was offered half a million $ by BCB, yet he didn't block himself for a year long job, Gary is working as BCB's consultant, which is another name of distant Director because he won't shift his family to Dhaka - don't see him doing that at Lahore either, Rixon is SRL's fielding coach after salty relation with PCB and he is 62+, not suggested. Jason might be ... but guy didn't manage Aussie job during their crisis
My previous post has the feedback on Mo Akram..... Personally, I believe in local coaches for bowling because bowling needs lots of mentoring while batting is more methodical, process oriented - still you need some basic technical knowledge to be an fast bowling coach of an International side. If it's Pakistani than probably best shot is Kabir Khan, but I would stick to a foreigner - Streak, Pont or Bond. Botha as fielding coach is fine.
Finally for batting coach - I like English batting coaches. They come with MCC Manuel & Text Book methods. May be English coaches are best for academy boys rather than National team. Hick is Aussie batting coach (not sure if still now), but frankly speaking I am not impressed with Aussie batting, very similar to Hick's career. On batting belters, GH was a monster, but bolted it under pressure. Thorpe can be excellent choice because he is probably the 2nd best Pom spin player since Compton & before KP, at least among top 3 with Gooch & Gatting, and PAK needs it's batsmen to be taught how to play spin by an Englishman ..... which should be a National shame, but that's PCT's deserved destiny I guess.
