[Report] Aaqib Javed and coaching staff to be sacked after ICC Champions Trophy2025 fiasco?

Nothing will change unless the culture is changed. You promote strike rate batters and proritize fitness + fielding and only then Pakistan will improve.

Skill set can be improved but mentality cannot unless culture is changed.

 

[usman.sandhu]

So moving forward in LOI (ODI / T20) I would suggest the following individuals be immediately approached for a coaching role for our National Team

- Head Coach / GM: Mohd Hafeez
- Advisor / Mentor: Shoaib Malik
- Batting Coach: Kamran Akmal
- Bowling Coach: Sohail Tanvir

Not interested in there playing accomplishments but this coaching staff fully understands the requirements of modern day LOI cricket and all have played in the PSL too.

They also fully understand the nuances associated with our cricketers and PCB in general…

Please no, not useless Pakistani coaches... please keep these political power hungry boys away from the team..

 

[usman.sandhu]

Misbah is the "deep state" of Pakistan cricket

Well said - sad but true...

Pathetic cowardly loser mentality deeply ingrained in our blood...

 

[Sir Alex]

Azhar Mahmood will make a backdoor entry regardless

 

[BouncerGuy]

It is not gonna be easy to get rid of these guys totally. They will stay ni the system in one way or the other.

Yes, Aaqib's contract as interim coach is over now and I don't think PCB is gonna make him a full-time head coach. PCB will bring another guy. Aaqib might also lose his position as a selector.

Being a foreign coach like Eoin Morgan for Odis while for tests they can go back to Misbah for the time yes he’s not ideal but atleast he knows how to win at home without resorting to gimmick pitches to get wins which completely kills red ball pace bowling in Pakistan

The only foreign coach that might be desperate enough to join Pakistan at the moment is Mickey Arthur

 

[Kianig89]

Time for MoYo to takeover, perfect scenario all seniors to be dropped fans have low expectations and there is a not so important your of NZ with PSL after this.

Even a white wash will be forgotten on this

That will only happen when you get rid of the RizBar axis...I cannot forget when Saim was hammering the Saffers (or was it the Aussies), Babar, his partner at the other end, told him to slow down...as long as the stadpadders are in the team, it will be difficult to change the mindset of the whole team...

 

[NeVerMind]

Any chance we can pry out Trott from the neighbours? No other foreign coach will touch us with a barge pole....

I don't think any good foreign coach would want to dive into this deep hole.

 

[Kianig89]

First and foremost , Pakistan cricket needs stability. Whatever setup comes in should be given time to prove themselves and the critical factor consistency in selections.

3-4 series before CT, the players in our loop such as Jehandad Khan, Sufyan Muqeem, Amir Jamal etc were inexplicably left out.

Sack Aqib Sack RizBar, ok the incoming coach and captain should be given some time and consistency in selection

Pakistan Coach, Support Staff To Be Sacked After Champions Trophy Humiliation vs India: Report​

The backlash due to the poor show in the Champions Trophy, including the humiliating defeat to India, hit the Pakistan team hard and its support staff led by former fast bowler Aaqib Javed is set to be overhauled, according to a cricket Board source. Pakistan lost to arch-rivals India by six wickets in Dubai on Sunday, after their 60-run defeat to New Zealand in the Champions Trophy opener in Karachi on February 19.

A well-informed source in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said that Aaqib will be relieved of his duties as interim head coach after the Champions Trophy.

“Obviously there is backlash over the team's performance in the CT. The Board hasn't decided as yet on whether the team will have separate head coaches (for red and white ball teams) but one thing is certain the current support staff will be overhauled now after the poor show in the Champions Trophy,” the source told PTI.

"But the way the Board has been changing coaches and selectors since last year, it will be a challenge to find other candidates for these positions,” he said.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi had appointed Aaqib as interim head coach first of the white ball team late last year after the resignation of Gary Kirsten. Aaqib was later asked to take over as interim red-ball coach also for the series in South Africa and against the West Indies at home after Australian Jason Gillispie left.

With Pakistan is due to tour New Zealand from March 16 to April 5 for five T20 Internationals and three ODIs, the Board has decided to finalise new permanent coach or coaches.

The source said due to the preparations for the Champions Trophy, the PCB could not focus on the hiring of new permanent coach(es) but now this will take priority.

“The PCB, after the way Kirsten and Gillispie resigned, is not going to get a choice of field when it comes to foreign coaches, so most probably the PCB will look at former players for the job,” the source said.

He said once Pakistan ends its campaign in the CT, Naqvi will also be conferring with the Board of Governors on whether to retain the national selection committee or not.

The way coaches have been treated, who would want to coach Pakistan? And we will be back to TTF who are stuck to Pakistan like leaches.

The issue is PCB and needs to be reformed otherwise the same leaches will keep on sucking the blood of Pakistan Cricket.

Aaqib out, Saqlain in, no wonder clowns work in PCB

“Breaking

Reward for exiting the Champions Trophy group stage

As per reports:

Saqlain Mushtaq is set to become the head coach of the national cricket team. Mushtaq accepted the role after a discussion with PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi. He is expected to take charge before Pakistan's upcoming tour of New Zealand.

Kudrat ka nizam round 2 loading some one please shoot me I can’t take this anymore

 

[Rana]

what does this spell for Non Muslim cricketers of Pakistan? We already have a captain who doesn’t see them as equal, now this coach?

 

[Vikram1989]

Seems Pak and pcb are going down the drain with same approach, idiocy, and ideology. Both don't want to learn fron their mistakes and correct it, won't seek experts opinion, won't consider non Muslims as worthy or trustable, hell bent on one golden moment which never arrives.
