The PCB’s latest advertisement for the Head Coach position signals a major shake-up for Pakistan cricket, raising questions about the future of the current coaching setup. With applications now open, speculation grows around whether Aaqib Javed’s tenure is coming to an abrupt end. Is this the dawn of a new era, or just another cycle of instability?

Lol they did this for Kirsten and Gillespie too.

Basically the 2-3 month contract advertisement :ROFLMAO:
 
Looking at the requirements, it looks like PCB has no one in the background who is ready.....

When PCB has made a deal with someone in the bg, they would never place any such requirements of x amount of experience etc.

I still find it abit stupid that for the NCA spot they want someone with 15 years experience.
 
there is no mention of how long the coach is required to stay in Pak ( which they claim to be the reason for GG ouster..)

Well after that firing , dont see any intl coach would look at this as an opportunity to coach Pakistan...
 
They advertised for High performanc coach but already granted that to Aaqib... Aaqib wants it and they said yes no interview and nothing...
 
After a successful tenure as home minister, record breaking stint as chairman of PCB, and forward thinking leadership as ACC chairman, Mohsin Naqvi has announced he will also accept the role of head coach of PCB to better serve the nation.
 
I honestly feel @Rana Should apply as a white ball coach and must be given full freedom to get players he wants.

Riz will retire from T20is.

I will clean up like Al Pacino did in Scarface first takeover.

Babar will be scared s in the corner wondering what I will do with him. Maybe I will give him a job.

They can all go to hell.

I’ll pick Zahoor Elahi as batting coach and Yasir Arafat as the bowling coach. That’s my Pakistan options over all of these guys.

Now give me international options, best that money and availability can offer.

To be honest I don’t think we need batting and bowling coaches for the Pakistan international team . We need career coaches and dieticians.
 
I think Hesson might have a go at this role but it is not gonna be an easy job for him.

He will have it easier. Naqvi won't be able to sack 3 foreign coaches in quick succession. Will really make his judgement look bad.

I hope so becuase atm, PCB needs stability and a guy who knows Pakistan cricket and Hesson has been working in PSL for long enough to know that this is gonna be a huge task.
 
So we are gearing up for 7th coach within two years. It is clear that Pakistan cricket has faced a difficult period over the past couple of years. Frequent changes in coaching staff and team leadership have made it hard for the players to find consistency and stability

With six head coaches and multiple captaincy switches, it is understandable that the team has struggled in major tournaments like the Asia Cup, the ODI World Cup, the T20 World Cup, and even the Champions Trophy held at home. The PCB has been trying different approaches under various chairmen, each attempting to bring in their preferred personnel. However, the rapid changes seem to have disrupted the team's development instead of improving it.
 
2 b grade journalists from Islamabad/Pindi who do have links in PCB confirming Hesson has been finalised. Those two have usually been right with their revelations.

Let’s see.
 
I do not see many top foreign coaches lining up to work with Pakistan right now. The way things have gone over the last few years, with coaches like Gillespie and Kirsten coming and leaving so quickly, it has sent the wrong message. Add to that the older history with guys like Geoff Lawson and Mickey Arthur, who were also let go in messy situations, and it is clear why foreign coaches might think twice. No one wants to walk into a setup where there is constant uncertainty and so much behind-the-scenes drama
 
Stick to a set of coaches for a 4 year term. Way too much chopping and changing.

They need to also invest in good analytics to understand what team combinations they are looking for.

Unfortunately, most Pakistani cricket analysts are very basic/mid , especially when you compare to Indian ones even on Twitter. There's a huge gulf.

So you might have to outsource that as well
 
Don't waste money on coaches, they will make no difference. Use the money to pay players better, set very standards at the Domestic level, improve wickets and most importantly find the biggest brain in PK cricket and appoint him Director of Cricket and let him hire what he needs.
 
Naqvi is such a deceiver!!! They will appoint either Saqlan or Misbah as coach. No foreign coach will last not even 4 months. PCB is a failed organization and I don't anything in few decades at least.
 
I really hope that we move on from Misbahs and aaqibs and azhar mehmoods... But whoever is coming, he should be there for 2 years atleast.

Tbh you can have anyone as coach. If Naqvi and his bosses will continue to interfere in team matters, this team will continue to fail.
 
If hesson takes over he should get 2 years with no full authority his main task will be to find a way to ensure young upcoming pacers are playing enough red ball cricket and not wasting time by going to crappy T 20 leagues
