Hm so last date is 23 .i wonder when is last date for indian coach selection. If moddy is not selected we can rope him in
 
Where are fielding coach and trainer positions? Our fielding was terrible for last 1 year.
 
Interesting - minimum accreditation required is Level II, for Head Coach!!!! Among all the required qualifications, only the accreditation part is something that is quantifiable - rest are subjective. Level II is quite low actually and it’s not mentioned from where that Level II Badge has to be accredited......

This actually qualifies many Deshi greats as well..... thinking loudly, no ill intentions here👍

Yes level II badge is low but many high level coaches dont even have that.
 
Can someone share which pakistani folks have level 2, especially curious about Mohsin Khan.

What coaching credential Misbah has? Neither certificate nor experience. He is still a current player.

I think Misbah actually does have Level II coaching credentials. He was one of the ex-cricketers who participated in the PCB's Level II coaching course. I'm just not sure if completion of that course actually means you are certified as a Level II coach? I would assume there is some sort of evaluation / test afterwards?

Still Misbah doesn't meet all the criteria. PCB wants minimum 3 years experience mean with any international team.
But then again its PCB and they can make even Shakil Sheikh as head coach.

You are right misbah has completed his level 2 coaching course recently at the NCA.

No, technically he qualifies.

Only that Level II clause is quantifiable - you have it or not. Rest can be manipulated easily if PCB wants to hire him. Say, as Captain, a Misbah was part of the strategic planning of IU (check the ad - they didn’t mention on hand coaching as required qualification, rather had beaten about the bush, neither number of days are quantified, just mentioned 3 years - could be 3 weeks every year, starting 3 years back).

Rest requirements are not even for a Cricket HC - for any Business Manager’s role, you can use the same ad without that first clause.

From the ad, my hunch is that they are indeed giving a serious thought about Misbah - that ad is Taylor made to fit him.
 
Upto PCB to bend the rules as long as the job gets done.
 
Win or lose the World Cup, the whole of the rest of the World does not engage in these knee jerk reactions of sacking everyone. Except Pakistan. A mid-ranked odi team who, in the end, played exceptionally well at the back end of the tournament, yet Mickey and Co are forced out. Because nothing short of winning the World Cup would do. Just shows you can have Ehsan Mani or some pendo off the street. The mentality will never change.

I wouldn't say it's a knee-jerk reaction because their contracts were set to finish after the WC. That's why the fielding coach wasn't removed.

Pakistan's performance in Test and ODI cricket has been awful, so it makes sense to go with someone else. It actually would have been worse if that little winning streak at the end led to keeping the same coaching staff.

Plus, it allows Ehsan Mani and Wasim Khan an opportunity to stamp their brand on Pakistani cricket. Coaches are often on limited time when there's a change in management and that includes sports other than cricket too.
 
The final date for applications has been changed to 26th August as per sources.
 
Don’t think many are interested in applying for the positions - especially ones with strong CV’s. Don’t blame them.
 
Seems like the combo of Deano, Misbah and Waqar is the best available.

The PCB might regret letting Mickey go that easily
 
Not much interest all i guess.

Who can really blame coaches for not being interested.

Grant Flowers' comments making the situation even more embarrassing.

Dean Jones must be the front runner for Head coach, considering Misbah hasn't applied.

Yet Grant Flower had no issues being employed by the PCB for 5 long years and was reportedly keen to continue further. Shameless individual who would have never have had a job anywhere else for so long without backing it with performance.

If the PCB wishes to attract top talent, it has to shore up top wages

I kindly disagree.

Look, there is a formula for winning test matches in UAE. Have 2 full time spinners and let the batsmen do their job.

Now when teams were being selected and all, mickey arthur ended up selecting 1 full time spinner and the other was a part timer known as bilal asif.
And yet we lost UAE. Bilal asif might had taken 5 wickets on debut, but hes a part timer and thats what happened in the other innings he played when he got 0 wickets.

Look had we lost the UAE test due to azhars or shafiqs batting then i wouldnt blame the loss on Mickey. But if mickey is fault on team selection than there is some problem. Pakistan pays him good money why such silly mistakes?

Chalo, lets say what happened in test was alright lets look at the world cup.

Why was there soo much confusion on team selection?

The best performers should had been selected, a stratrgy should had been build much before.

See if a strategy had been build, than world cup selection would not had been a problem.

In 2011 the strategy was that top order will attack (hafeez,kamran) middle order will anchor and take score till 200 by 40th(shafiq,younis,misbah) and lower order will go breserk and try to get 100 in last 10 overs(umar akmal,razzaq,afridi)

And this techniqued worked for us. We defeated NZ in a series and won the sri lanka game in the world cup like this.

And we still made it to the semis.

In the 2019 world cup there was strategy. The only strategy was to make any score and than asif ali will just attack.

See if there was a strategy than player selection would had been easy.

Malik could had been dropped for rizwan.

Just before the world cup, no one knew who was going to be selected.
Shoaib malik saab had some emergency and went away. Mickey should had been stern and dropped him from the world cup. Because if he was not gonna play in a trial series than how can you judge him.

Usman shinwari takes wickets all year and all of a sudden he is not good enough fir the world cup.

Shaheen shah afridi had ti play 6 matches before he could adjust his lime and length. Where was azhar mehmood here?

Why was selection such a dilemma.

If we had selected a squad with strategy and with the right players based on performance and still lost. The blame wouldnt had been on the coaches.

But when you see soo many dumb changes and still lost the match than there is a question that needs to be asked by the coaches.

Azhar mehmood tried to save his pr image by writing a blog. But my question to azhar mehmood is, why did it take shaheen 6 matches to get the right line and length? A commentator known as waseem akram just has a little chat(video on record) and shaheen saab suddenly is picking wickets.
So azhar is not good for the job.

Hafeez is an opener and he was made into a middle order batsmen. Cricinfo has a small interview with grant flower him where they ask whichb player improved, interestingly the guy only mentions babar azam and imam ul haq as they have scored runs but he doesnt say that hafeez improved his technique.

So my question is if hafeez didnt improve technique wise than how the hell did u allow an opener become a middle order batsmen.
This is something grant flower needs to answer.
 
Btw it seems not alot have applied or big names havent applied or else PCB would had leaked names to get pr that oh look flana applied for our job you can also apply.

I think the 3 day extention means PCB will be in approaching mode. If they dlnt get their desire than its misbah who they will throw a contract to and approach him.

If not than dean jones is a great pick
 
FYI

PCB changed the deadline date to 26th August in a notification issued in newspapers next day of advertisement
 
LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board has started the process to form a five-member committee to analyse applications and select a head coach for the national team.

The committee will also choose the batting and bowling coach as well as the strength and conditioning trainer.

The positions were left vacant after the PCB decided not to extend contracts of former head coach Mickey Arthur and his support staff after Pakistan’s failure to make it to the ICC World Cup semi-finals earlier this summer.

The committee, it has been learnt, will be announced soon after confirming the availability of the potential members, most of whom are said to be former Test cricketers.

Number of former Test cricketers have applied for the vacant posts former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq is speculated to be the hottest contender to be named the national team’s head coach.

Another former captain, Waqar Younis, has also applied for the bowling coach position. Waqar has also served as the Pakistan head coach in the past.

Pakistan gave Mickey Arthur a chance but is going to refuse Dean Jones over Misbah ul Haq. What gidar singhi does Misbah have over the cricket board that has always favoured him since 2007. I swear to God Misbah must have a powerful connection. I want this appointment challenged in court.
 
All the rules and eligibility criteria are pushed aside to accommodate one undeserving Niazi.
 
Yasir Arafat has confirmed to us that he's applied for position of bowling coach
 
I wouldn't think many international reputed coaches would have applied anyway for head coach very well knowing what a headache this job is.

What I would like to know is if Ian Pont applied for the fast bowling coach or not? Again doubt that he would have as he has gigs in India every year.
 
Yasir Arafat has told us that whilst he did apply for the position of bowling coach, he has not been contacted yet by PCB. Only Waqar Younis has been interviewed for this role.
 
PCB should have been more aggressive in searching for Head Coach , Misbah is not the right choice , he will be a failure along with Waqar younis.
 
One of the candidates saying PCB only interviewed Waqar Younis for the bowling coach role.

You have to pay higher to make it worth the headaches. Somewhere around $500k plus atleast

Deano might get the Batting Coach's role.

Of the 5 Positions (HC, Batting, Fast Bowling, Spin Bowling, Fielding), PCB actually needs just qualified coach - for Batting, which unfortunately isn't in the grasp of any PAK Coach. Of all these skills, Batting is most methodical, strategic and process oriented - 21 years International experience of 124 Tests won't make someone a Batting Coach remotely close someone never playing even a single Test - Jaimy Siddons, just one example. In entire PAK, there is no one even remotely close to one Mumbai Club Coach - Ramakant Achrekar, says it all. Deano doesn't have a glaring International career (As Coach), but he has played in Shields & Counties for 2 decades, and he has completed Level 4 Badge from CA's Centre for Cricket Excellence, Brisbane - more than enough.

HC: Misbah
BC: Jones
FBC: WY
SBC: Tauseef/Saqui/Qadir .....
FC: Whoever, doesn't matter much

Can be quite a decent pool.

I don't think PCB should waste money on Fielding Coach - the problem is somewhere else and the coach won't fix it. If he becomes uncompromising, almost sadist, Misbah alone with a Club coach assisting him (& few ball boys), can fix PAK's fielding issues considerably. I have seen enough and can confidently say that, PAK fielders are technically as good as anyone in terms of fielding - BUT, most of them hates to field and take it as an imposed burden - if allowed, they'll take a pay cut and won't come to field at all. You can never perform a forced job under pressure, if you are not passionate about it - result is silly lapses in crunch time. Change it (somehow) to a passion, where players them-selves are motivated to contribute in a thanks-less job like fielding, even you can teach them how to catch, throw or slide - it's not rocket science and you don't need natural talunt to be a Shan or Shadab level fielder.
 
Quite a few disgruntled applicants.

In fact some saying that Waqar was the only candidate interviewed for the bowling coach role.

Worrying when you hear that Afghanistan cricket board will pay more than PCB for some roles.

This is the root cause of the problem. Surely the PCB can afford to pay above market rate for 2-3 individuals atleast

It is still run like a goverment organization and Wasim Khan needs to change it

How can anyone expect something different when there are the same people in the PCB apart from Shafiq Papa removed. These done zero to improve grass root cricket, club cricket destroyed, NCA is in pathetic state(same doctor is still in the organization that diagnosed Haris Sohail wrongly), and pervious domestic cricket run like a circus.

If they appoint a Head Coach who has never coached a First Class Team then we should all just give up and laugh at Pakistan.

We all know more than a month ago who will be.Shame on PCB to play with our sentiments.

Head Coach:: Misbah
Bowling Coach: Waqar.

Simply ridiculous. Without any proven track record it is too much from MISBAH to demand for. Had he got any enough experience, accolades to his name as coach, then he can demand what he wants.

All this demand will come to ground in 6 months time depending on how successful the team plays and competes with the top teams.

I feel MISBAH would fail drastically in this chapter if appointed head coach.

After failing he and his fans should not complain about selectors , captain, bowling or fielding coach. Let’s see
