Might as well not advertise if they are not willing to fork out competitive salaries (over $500k per year)

What is the point of power hitting coach? If batting coach isn’t good enough for advising on power hitting then what is the point of him?

Paying over a $million a year to guys that at best make a marginal difference, mostly make no difference and in some cases do more harm than good isnt good value for money. Spend the money on domestic players, facilities and more matches. The talent will take care of the rest.

These officials need to be appointed at the U13, U16, U19, Academies, Domestic teams, not at the national level

As you know i am not a fan of coaches( to put it mildly) but i agree to you some extent. I think we need a Foreign fielding consultant to coach our coaches not to coach the players.

Former legendary left-arm pacer Wasim Akram has backed Pakistan Cricket Board's (PCB) decision to hire a power-hitting coach for the national team.
"Power-hitting coaches are important because you need a specific balance than what you would have while batting normally. Power hitting in cricket is much like a golf shot where you need to have the right balance," said Akram while talking to media in Karachi.
The former Pakistan captain hinted that PCB should snub the idea of hiring a local coach for this role and opt for someone with the right knowledge, someone from abroad.
"This is a great idea and everyone is benefiting from power-hitting coaching. One coach is of from England whereas the other is an American who has trained several teams," hinted Wasim Akram.
The 55-year-old commented on Pakistan's recent performances and said that they have been praiseworthy and that Saqlain Mushtaq's coaching had certainly impressed him.
"Saqlain has done a great job as the interim coach and Pakistan did fantastic under him, and T20 World Cup is a great example of it," said Wasim.
Akram later expressed his delight with PCB's progress and the idea of importing drop-in pitches to improve the standards of overall cricket in Pakistan.
"Pakistan cricket is moving in the right direction and these projects and new ideas need to be implemented so the cricket can grow even further," said Wasim while talking to media in Karachi.
He further reiterated that with Australia's imminent tour to Pakistan, the PCB must do everything in their power to ensure a safe environment for the players due to the pandemic.
"Covid-19 is rapidly spreading all over the world once again and extreme caution needs to be exercised. PCB needs to make sure that Australia's tour to Pakistan remains on and is not halted or delayed due to lack of preparation in regards to Covid-19," said Wasim.

Seriously, it's laughable.
The batting coach should be an all round coach to cover all aspects of batting.
Looks like PCB has too much extra money to burn or they are plain incompetent and clueless or perhaps they want to hire a cipharshi who can hog on the funds.
Perhaps if some players truly need a power hitting training then a short coaching stint with such a coach should be sufficient. Even a few youtube videos pretty much cover a good portion of power hitting coaching. It's all up to the player if he wants to put an effort and passion to learn OR you want him to get used to spoon feeding?
I also feel that top performing players should take on the responsibility of coaching young players.
Imran, Javed, Sarafaz, they all did that. And that's the best of the best coaching a young player can get.
Hiring an army of coaches won't do much. The total approach and mindset is wrong.

Again, they players can watch a few youtube videos on power hitting coaching and that is more than enough for anyone who has the hunger to learn and training accordingly.

I am glad the PCB is the one making decisions on Pakistani Cricket. Too many people in Pakistan who are content with the status quo and don't have the stomach for trying new things.

Kinda pointless advertising the job after what happened last time with Dean Jones.
“Applicant requires x, y, z experience”
*PCB appoint someone with ZERO coaching experience*

If players need coaches at the international level then they shouldnt be playing. As i have said many times its a scam where the coaches become cheerleaders and dont or cant coach. Its better to invest in facilities and players at the domestic level and the talent will take care of itself. We do need a Director of Cricket to provide a strategic goal and plan the way ahead and find talent spotters to find new players

Courtney Walsh did apply for a coaching position once, but some duffer from PCB called him when it was 2:00 am in West Indies. Walsh obviously missed the call and was automatically dropped from the list by PCB.
This duffer at PCB perhaps thought that if it's 11:00 am in the morning in Pakistan, then it would be the same time in West Indies.

So seems all this was a joke?
"PSL mai busy hain, time naheen hai" type thing.

Espically when you have Ijaz Ahmed who shouldn't be considered for any role.
Most of the time the people who are going to get the job(s) are decided beforehand and the recruitment process is by and large a box ticking exercise.
Interesting though that Tait has been given the bowling coach role especially after he walked away from Afghanistan Cricket Board after a few months.

Walking away from Afghanistan cricket does not mean much, given the kind of situation their team and country is in atm - can't really hold that against Tait.
However, it is still a very questionable appointment and seems to have been made only because of Tait's nationality.

He was appointed on Klusenar's backing and recommendation. When Klusenar resigned, Tait felt he should leave as well.

Anyone interested in this. PCB is looking for head coach. I guess the options approached by the PCB are not willing to work here.
This is ridiculously short on detailed requirements.

PCB is fulfilling the requirement only otherwise they are in direct contact with coaches for hiring purpose.
