Poor quality coaches in Pakistan's domestic cricket, NCA, dept. cricket and poor quality players?

I wonder if there is a correlation. Mohd Wasim is perhaps the youngest and most modern domestic coach we have in our domestic cricket and he has already shown results by helping his provincial side win the National T-20 championship.

But the others i see are coaches who clearly have zero understanding about the modern format of the game and coaches who have never even played international cricket. Pakistani Cricket fans shouldn't really complain about the team's poor performances, average and low quality cricketers coming through the ranks when you have your domestic cricket being dominated by coaches like Azam Khan, Shafiq Papa, Jallaludin, Arshad Khan whereas India in comparison has the likes of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman, Zaheer Khan giving back to the game.

PCB's reasoning for going for Ijaz Ahmed and not Saqlain Mushtaq was that they could not afford Saqlain. Yet the same PCB accepted Misbah as the CS, Head coach and Batting coach for Rs 3 million a month but refused to hire Younis Khan for the same role in the U-19, A team set up for half the price.

Should the PCB really be watching its wallets when the quality of coaching in our domestic cricket is a shambles compared to the rest of the world?

No amount of coaching will help if facilities arent there. Both go hand in hand.

I think the present problem in Pakistan Cricket is both, our infrastructure and facilities are just way to behind the Big 5 countries at the moment. Talent alone is not enough for consistent success. Shan Masood confirmed it himself that he was not used to batting 5-6 hours plus every day in the nets which he experienced in England and i remember coming across an article that our players even international do not have such facilities in Pakistan and they have to arrange for their own practice balls, own net bowlers who have the maximum capacity to bowl for 40-60 minutes at full pelt before getting tired and there are only 1-2 international standard bowling machines.

In contrast i see videos of Indian players in their academies where they are practicing for 5-6 hours against bowling machines which mimimc international bowlers, all sorts of deliveries and it just requires one person to put balls in the machine.

No wonder our batting stocks have fallen considerably over the last decade.
