Everyone throwing the name Wasim Akram around, I'm not even sure he himself wants to take the headcoaching position.

Steve rhodes for head coach and neil McKenzie as batting coach.Dont know why Bangladesh are not extending their contract as they both have done a wonderful job for Bangladesh cricket and what amazes me that in only one year Rhodes and McKenzie have transformed the bangladesh team from a minnow to a top 5 team in limited overs cricket.The coaching staff was able to bring the best out of ordinary plaers and have improved their game and skills immensely litton das ,saifuddin,mossadek hosaain are prime examplea.So in my opinion both of them should be roped in by the pcb as soon as possible ,south africa are actually very interested to hire neil McKenzie as their batting coach as the know the value and skills he possesses as a coach ,so pcb should not waste time and should start negotiating a contract with neil McKenzie as he is the best batting coach available at a time ,while steve rhodes as a replacement for head coach wont be a bad replacement for mickey arthur, as he is a better tactican and thinker than mickey in my opinion.

We should move to the BCCI model where you have a director in Wasim who watches over the team’s development and low-key coaches for batting and bowling who will work on drills and what not with the players.

Lol if he doesn’t get his way, things could turn ugly. Didn’t get on with KP but he was the coach during a great period of test cricket for England. Swann, Trott, Bresnan, Cook, and Matt Prior all had successful periods under his coaching.
We need professional coaches not the face value.

I would go for Andy flower, dean jones or steve Rhodes.
I wouldnt mind continuing with Mickey as continuity is important too. but perhaps change is required and he has taken the team as far as it can go. We need to continue the good things he has started.
Maybe Gary Kirsten? I would like to keep grant in the side as i think the youngsters have benefited from his insight.
With wasim khan in the system I wouldnt be surprised if we get an ex england coach..wouldnt mind either of the lot ive mentioned.
I want steve rixon back as fielding coach however..and a proper bowling coach..someone who gets it..I would also want someone who is willing to really put in the hours when it comes to scouting and analytics..
analytics are transforming sport and we need to use this stuff properly..

This is not just a case of head coach but the entire team. Who can replace the current guys who have done a very good job on fielding and fitness? What about the batting which looks very good?
Does there need to be a different coaching team for tests and ODIs?

Hafeez for coach - it solves an unsolvable problem of Pakistan cricket, as it gives the Pakistan team the opportunity to play with XI players instead of 10 and a passenger.
Of course that’s assuming he’s a full time coach and not a player/coach.

Professor is capable enough to be coach and player at the same time. Should also be given additional charge of captain and chief selector. If he still has some spare time he can even be made PCB chairman. Such is the class of the man.

If talks regarding Andy Flower are true then its pretty good as I believe he is one of the best coaches around the cricketing world.
Who has he coached before this?
Andy Flower has no man management skills which even he admits. I know him from his time here as England coach and he has a dictatorial, no nonsense, micromanaging approach which will not last in Pakistani environment.
We will be mediocre stably for ages
There are no real egos in the team though.

Probably worth understanding why do we need a new coach. I say this not to defend Mickey, but we have to a reason. Do we want the new coach to improve our test performance or odi performance.
There’s a world of difference on how we did in 2019 World Cup vs 2015. The team has been scoring 300 regularly.

Andy Flower was probably one of englands best ever coaches and ushered in a new period for them of success however he had the structure in place to allow him to do that. Dean Jones is a charismatic man however i am unsure what credentials he holds as a coach.. I would go for Steven Rhodes god knows why bangladesh terminated his contract, he is no stranger to sub continent politics so he will already be used to the natak that will go on behind the scenes. We are doing pretty well at the moment, no wasim akram or ego hunting ex players please.

Having an ego is not a bad thing. If you are a sportsmen you should have an ego. The idea we should hire a coach because we think there are no egos in the team or never will be seems a bit hopeful.

Andy Flower needs some good support from PCB management , he has to be given free hand and given long term plans.

This is said of every incoming coach until a few high profile losses lead to everyone tucking their tail between their legs and running from the gutter press

So, just so that I am clear, you would like to change the coach after the World Cup because our test performance in countries where we always lose is bad.
At the moment it looks like it's Mickey Arthur all the way.
PCB hierarchy are happy with his work and want him to continue. The length of the contract will be discussed but as things stand no change in the role of head coach.

Just for the fun of it, I would love to see Basit Ali as chief selector, Tanvir Ahmed as bowling coach, M Yousuf as batting coach, A Razzaq as Allrounder coach and Sikandar Bakht as team analyst.
Our cricket team is a mess anyways, at least the above move will bring an end to these guys tv career.

Can't say it enough, Mickey has to go.
He started with all the right focus - discipline, fitness, strategy, teamwork.
Over time, he has compromised them all because he has become too close to his team. Emotions have no place in strategy.
Two examples: Continued selection of Malik and letting his captain get off the fitness bandwagon (Yo-yo test or not.)
Inzamam also became an exception to the fitness regime in his last couple of years - with disastrous results for the team - because the coach got too close to him.
Mickey's other fatal flaw is that his teams lose key moments. The coach and captain have a lot to do with how their teams respond under pressure. We saw it throughout the recently concluded SA series and the world cup - all decisive moments went to the opposition. And team only played well when all pressure was off and their backs were to the wall.
Pakistan team has lost so many ODIs and test series in the last couple of years, some from very winnable positions, that the coach has to take the fall.

If Mickey is leaving I would like a Australian coach who has qualifications and a track record of improving batters . Usually it has been Australian coaches who have improved batters in the international circle.

Head Coach , Pakistan should try and go all out for Tom Moody .

Then might as well add intikhab alam as manager, ijaz Ahmed as fielding coach.
