Yeah after what happened in the past I dont think he is going to be selected in any these jobs.
On the top of mind the only level three coaches I could think of is
Saqlain Mushtaq
Yasir Arafat (currently completing ECB level 4 specialist program)
Mushtaq Ahmed
Those three are the only ones that come on the top of my head. Personally Yasir Arafat should be one of the coaches. He is serious about coaching and has some experience.
Thank God Wasim khan came to the rescue. Our Coaching Education system needs to be better. Our coaches are trash. They do not know how to teach in the modern way.

KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) in their endeavour to close the bridge between international and domestic cricket is in the midst of revamping the Lahore-based National Cricket Academy (NCA) by renaming the facility as the National High Performance Centre (NHPC).
Wasim Khan, the chief executive officer of PCB, while sharing details of the new venture with Dawn on Thursday, expressed confidence that the incoming setup would help to improve the overall standard of cricket in the country.
“We have already sought applications to this effect by advertising four key positions which are going to be part of core team of the newly-instituted National High Perfor*mance Centre which will interlink with the regional high performance centres in Karachi and Multan,” Wasim revealed while talking to Dawn from Lahore. “In the next phase we are going to have further regional centres in Rawalpindi, Peshawar and Quetta. The salient feature of this exercise is to streamline system to make it more effective and to close the gap between domestic and international cricket.
In the first segment, PCB will be appointing Director High Performance, Head of High Performance Coaching, Head of International Player Development and High Performance Operations Manager with April 29 being the deadline for applying process.
“Apart from bridging the gap [between domestic and international cricket], the new system will support the creation of a more streamlined and joined up structure,” Wasim explained. “Because historically the NCA has supported training camps for our international men and women teams, while our domestic department has primarily run our first-class game. Both these areas will now be brought together under a Director High Performance who will have his operational teams working under him across domestic and high performance. That’s why we have now decided to rename the existing NCA as the National High Performance Centre.
“My philosophy is clear-cut because our prime objective in the planned changes in the structure is by ensuring areas such as facilities, playing surfaces, coaching and programmes support our aims at international level which will become a more focussed priority through a shared-goal across both areas.”
Elaborating as to how will it all work at different tiers in the coming setup, Wasim said: “The respective roles of Academy Director and Director Domestic will no longer exist and will instead be replaced by a Director of High Performance, Head of International Development and Head of High Performance Coaching.
“The Head of High Performance Coaching is responsible for raising the standard of coaching support to the most talented players, and for ensuring that the Cricket Association network is aligned behind the national strategy.
“This role holder will set up re-training programmes for Level III and Level IV coaches and will also revamp our current coaching course in line with international standards. The Head of International Player Development will be responsible for comprehensively identifying, developing and preparing players so that they become world-class cricketers for the senior Pakistan men’s team. The High Performance (HP) set-up will support the six Cricket Association coaching set-ups and their High Performance programmes.”
Wasim, the brainchild behind the ambitious scheme, observed that the six cricket associations would liaison between the NHPC and the development programme in their respective territory to become more viable.
“The HP team will liaise and work closely with the Cricket Association set-ups where the PCB medical and sport science team is already aligned and supporting the ongoing development of the six associations’ medical teams. The principle will be the same on coach education and player development.
Wasim confirmed that only the NCA will be renamed while the HP centres would operate under their current status. “As you know we already have the HP centres in Karachi and Multan, with Peshawar, Quetta and Rawalpindi in the pipeline. It is important to note that when we launched the new six team structure, I made it clear that it could take three years before it is properly up and running.
“A complete overhaul of the old domestic structure to a new fully operational revamped structure takes time. And I’m very confident that we are moving in the right direction.”
When asked why the changes are being brought up and how beneficial would it be for Pakistan cricket, Wasim responded: “Most full nations struggle with bridging the gap between their domestic cricket and international cricket. When you try and understand why you quickly realise that there needs to be as much of a seamless link and transition from domestic to the international game.
“If you don’t have a vision and a clear purpose of what you want from your cricket system then you’ll struggle to get ahead. We want to create consistent success through design, not luck. Once operational, this new set-up will start to move us forward. This will not be the panacea for everything, but it will significantly improve how we run and deliver our professional cricket.”
The PCB official assured that transparency will be the focal point of all appointments in the upcoming structure after being queried that in the past there had been opposition to this with people saying the whole exercise is just eyewash.
“Firstly there seems to be a notion that all roles are already aligned to certain individuals. Everywhere around the world, individuals match up to role and are identified in a process, whether it be sport or business — this isn’t a Pakistan cricket phenomenon. When people apply for roles and don’t get them, they get emotional and blame the system,” Wasim pointed out.
“The fact is that many people don’t read job descriptions and apply because they believe they can do the job. Skills and attributes are set out clearly and you look to match against them. This exercise is an open process and the best candidates that fit the brief, job qualification and experience will be given the roles.
“I can give you the example of David Parsons — an individual who helped structure and set up the high performance system for the England & Wales Cricket Board and has been working for them for 10 years. That is why England became number one during his time across different formats.
“In November, I brought David in as a consultant to help us with assessing our programmes and he interviewed 15 people, including coaches, players, administrators and ex-players to get their views and a roadmap for the way forward for Pakistan cricket has been produced.
“In our case, David will support the new team during the first six months as a consultant; despite some rumours he will not be taking up any of the three roles, nor will PCB be outsourcing the National High Performance Centre in Lahore,” Wasim added.
In the meantime, Wasim pledged that he and his team will leave no stone unturned to make Pakistan cricket a strong force. “We will continue to take strong and thought-through decisions for the good of Pakistan cricket. Not everything will be agreeable with everyone and I respect that, nor will we get everything right, but my job is to make tough unpopular decisions at times for the good of the game — I won’t take a backward step in doing what we believe is right. In the last 12 months we have delivered.
“We have successfully brought Test cricket back; we have revamped the domestic structure; the HBL PSL has been entirely delivered in Pakistan; the MCC has toured and we have had visits from the CEOs from Australia, England and Ireland. We are applying to bring ICC tournaments back to Pakistan from 2023-2031.
“Moreover, in the next few weeks PCB will be announcing a 5-year strategy for the game. It has been exciting to have been involved over the last 12 months driving change and I look forward to many new challenges in the next 12 months. It remains a privilege and an honor to be at the forefront of making decisions and getting things done.”

I believe the old guard was unhappy that Wasim Khan was looking into their jobs, what exactly each individual on the PCB payroll was responsible for, what they were delivering, what the quality of their performance appraisal was like, no wonder. The PCB has already done a polite clean up job by moving the old guard on and bringing in fresh changes.

Head of High Performance Coaching needs to be a foreigner. The most important job out of all, you can't trust a Pakistani to manage this.
4 roles 2 should be foreign and 2 should be local
David Pearson will take 1 role but not sure about the other 3 any suggestions?
Who will get that position and what about the rest of the positions
[MENTION=149054]shamaan[/MENTION] David Parsons will not take one of the roles. Wasim khan in his latest interview said that David Parson will be a consultant for the High Performance structure. He will take the job of Consultant- High Performance Cricket System Development.
Tbh with you I wish all of them were taken by foreigners. Pakistan coaches are trash. They are well behind than coaches in Australia, England and even India. That's cause India has a good structure and there coaching education system is good. I just hope for the post of Head High Performance Coaching is a foreigner.
[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] Now that I did my research and that they are going to pick local people I think they should hire Yasar Arafat and Atiq uz zaman. Yasar Arafat is going for his level 4 coaching certification from ECB and Atiq uz Zaman has a level three certification and has a masters of sports medicine from England.

Just watched, he definitely has some great qualifications having coached Lanchashire women’s county to runners up and U15 to win the age group tournament. Was also pleasantly surprised to learn that he wrote about the PCB for his Masters thesis 
[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] Yasir arafat, in the recent BigBash had a three week coaching spell with Pert Scorchers. In the past 2 years he has worked as a bowling consultant in Hong Kong and he also spent one year at Surrey coaching their T20 side. He is currently completing ECB level 4 coaching course which is a 2 yr course which he is 8 months in. This course will allow him to coach counties along the way because it is part of curriculum.

[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] Yeah he has lots of experience as a coach. I just searched up his thesis and the only way to get his thesis work that he did yrs ago is by emailing him on Twitter. I emailed him and if he sends it to me, I will send it to you if you want to have a look at it.
All I gotta say is that exciting times are ahead for Pakistan cricket. These decisions by Wasim Khan over the course of tenure so far has been exciting and fantastic/brave decisions has been called by him for the betterment of Pakistan Cricket
Atiq is all set to take over as coach of the Cayman Islands team.
Yasir Arafat is currently doing his ECB Level 4.

Agreed! I’d love to read when you get it.
His negotiations with Cayman Islands to join as coach have been put on hold because of the COVID-19 outbreak and he hasn’t officially agreed. In the meanwhile, he is applying for the positions from the PCB as he wants to give back to his country (paraphrasing his words).
[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] Yes Yasir Arafat is doing ECB Level 4 and Atiq got an offer with Cayman Islands team but due to the coronavirus issue there is a delay. There is a video on YouTube where he says in the video that he looked at the High performance job posts and he is looking forward to apply for the post as he wants to move back to Pakistan and be with his father and mother and he wants to help the youngsters.

Pace of change is slow - needed more heads to roll - people who have stuck around PCB for a while. And I mean people not necessarily at the top management level but those at lower levels.

Not easy, too much of a blood bath approach will result in political attention, media attention and criticism from ex players
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has received around 250 applications for four key operational posts with a good numbers of foreigners also showing interest for these slots.
The PCB has recently advertised four posts that are Director High Performance, Head High Performance Coaching, Head International Players Development and High Performance Operation Managers. “Yes, we have received a very encouraging response from all around. We have received about 250 applications for the four posts and that also includes foreign aspirants,” an official of the PCB HR Department when contacted said.
He said that the names would be shortlisted in due course of time before sending over the interview calls to deserving candidates for each post. “There is long way to go as besides interviews by a panel, these aspirants will also be asked to give presentations as required for all such important posts.” The PCB cricket operational department is somewhat giving a barren look following the decision from Mudassar Nazar to part ways with PCB. Haroon Rashid and Ali Zia have also left the Board and so are some well qualified regional coaches including Sabih Azhar and Taimoor Azam. Instead of mostly looking for indigenous resources, the PCB under Ehsan Mani it seems has decided to go for Australian model of cricket operation, making their mind to hire high performance individuals from outside the country.
The News has learnt that an Australia based cricket official is tipped to replace Mudassar Nazar as the NCA Director. “The post may well be given some other name but Australian based official is likely to take over the charge.”
David Parsons a former England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) spin bowling coach has already been tipped to join the PCB as consultant or to overlook the High Performance System which is under consideration for the future Pakistan cricket.Though the PCB has kept on denying giving Parsons any future role, it has been learnt that former ECB official could well be seen joining the PCB in consultancy capacity in future.

I hope many foreigners get these posts.
What do you think about this? Are foreigners going to be hired or locals?

I’m so excited. Filling all the major posts with key high performance individuals from around the world. 250 applicants! 250! I was expecting maybe 3-4 per position. I’m so impressed.
Welcome to the Pakistan cricket revolution.
Yes sir my brother. Alhamdulillah around 250 applied. I am just excited as u are. Absolutely this is Pakistan Crickets Revolution. I was also expecting maybe only 5 to 10 each post but there are around 250! And many applicants are foreigners, which excites me even more. The way Wasim Khan and PCB advertised these post is impressive. They marketed it in a professional way. The job qualifications were straightforward and this brought the hunger in many individuals. Credit should also be given to David Parsons who is going to be the Consultant. He assessed Pakistans infrastructure and came out with the solutions that Pakistan desperately needs.
[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] How long do you think it will take for them to announce the people that got hired for these 4 respected posts?
Btw I was on LinkedIn and I searched David Parsons profile and let me tell you he is one hell of a professional man that has lots if experience. I also saw a few coaches that are from England that show interest in these job post and I think applied for one of these posts.

Looks like they have a very professional vetting process set up. Interviews, presentations, if they are interviewing that many applicants at high priority it will take a month from now at the very least, most probably more. Will definitely be some time before we are informed, I am thinking around mid-late July.
However it seems they already have some Australian in mind for NCA director. We might get information about that sooner. One thing, do they have the funding for all these foreign individuals? Let’s say 4 posts and $100,000 a year each adds up to $400k which is 6 crores

[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] If I'm not wrong it says that they are going to first shortlist candidates and then interview them and give presentations. I think they are going to announce in a month or two.
PCB has the funding but let's see. They def do have the money but Wasim khan knows best on how much PCB can give to the four individuals for the four posts. All I got to say is best of luck to PCB and Wasim Khan and all the individuals that applied. Inshallah everything will be good and the results will inshaallah be a success.
[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]
The news that we are most likely going to get first is David Parsons as a Consultant because along Wasim Khan, he is going to be there in the interview process too.
I was on LinkedIn today and I searched David Parsons name and on his profile it shows the activity that he done. And his latest activity on LinkedIn is that he shared a post that states that PCB is advertising the 4 posts for the HPC. There are some coaches that liked the post and there are some coaches that are level three coaches that showed interest in Pakistan cricket.

I saw this and also went through the likes
Looks like he is one of the reasons for so many people applying, he has tapped into his own network in England which is great. I went through the credentials of some of these other coaches and they have great backgrounds and experienceI saw this and also went through the likes
[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION]
Yeah he def tapped into his England network. Those coaches are good over there.
My brother did u read the post before this where I said that they are going to shortlist candidates and then interview and have presentations.

Yep. I think even if they shortlist from 250, they will still have to interview about 50 candidates. If they do 2-3 interviews a day, it will still take almost one month.they are also accepting applications for these positions for the next two weeks actually. The deadline I think is around 19th May and 250 is an initial estimate. For this reason I’m thinking it will be some time before we are informed of any new hires.
Most likely they will confirm David Parsons soon, and the Australian NCA head within 2-3 weeks. The rest of the decisions will be announced in mid July at the earliest.
[MENTION=29901]Thunderbolt[/MENTION] The deadline to apply is already over. The last day to apply was April 29th. Its on PCB website. If you go on PCB's website and click on career opportunity, they don't have it listed but they have it listed as a past career opportunity.
Currently PCB is in the process to shortlist candidates. They will then interview them. I think the shortlisting will not take long. That would reasonably take two to three day most. The interview/presentation process is where it will take some time.
Definitely they will confirm David Parson as a consultant soon. They will most likely announce the four decisions at the same time.
Interviewing will not take long. Businesses can do at least 20 to 30 interviews a day. Some businesses do 40 to 50 a day. Interviews take 20 to 30 minutes. By the end of the month they will probably announce the four people that will take the respected posts.
I remember I was reading and Wasim Khan was saying how they want to have a smooth transition when Mudassar Nazar leaves.
So the roles are as follows if I'm reading correctly:
Director of High Performance - will oversee the whole structure.
Head of High Performance Coaching - Will oversee the coaches in the domestic system and ensure the 6 CAs are working in accordance with the national plan.
Head of International Development - the chief scout whose role is to identify talent.
High Performance Operation Manager - not sure what this role will involve. Maybe ensuring the smooth running of the NHPC on a day-to-day basis ?

My impression was that interviews might be longer than 20-30 minutes since there are presentations involved. But if that’s the case then all the better, sooner we are notified that these people will come in!
Okay great. We need to get these appointments right. The reason why our talent pool has dried up, especially batting talent, is because our youngsters do not have a solid foundation due to poor coaching at junior and grassroots level.
Too many youngsters start their Pakistan careers with a bang then regress as opponents work them out. They cannot go to domestic cricket and rectify their weaknesses because the support structure is so weak.
This NHPC will help with that. NCA had lots of resources pumped into it but was not pulling its weight.

Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani have certainly done some good jobs. They are hiring the right people, from Australian pitch consultants to one of the best talent developers in England, to resuming PSL, to inviting Marylebone Cricket Club, to excellent aggressive negotiating with various cricket boards to visit Pakistan, to a much needed overhaul of the domestic first class set up, definitely lots of positives and radical shifts in a better direction for Pakistan cricket.
It hasn’t been long that they are in their roles so jury is still out on them. However, in the limited period they have been here, they have given the feeling of professionalism and understanding of Pakistan cricket’s needs. If they successfully bring in 4 foreign talent individuals to establish a High Performance set up at the mid tier, it has the potential for some strong improvements.
[MENTION=53290]Markhor[/MENTION] Absolutely our coaching structure is terrible. This restructuring is much needed. Pakistan has all the talent but the grooming is not there. Wasim Khan realized that these coaches are just getting money and not coaching the right way. Inshallah the NHPC will solve this issue. And inshallah they will have well qualified coaches.
[MENTION=151892]Thunderbolt14[/MENTION] [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION]
Like my brother Thunderbolt14 said and pointed out the achievements that Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani have done in 12 months. I would like to ask you [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] that tell me if any previous chairman has done this much work?
Restructuring a domestic structure takes at least a year. They did it in 6 months. They professionalized PCB in a professional/peaceful way. All the previous chairmans just talked and never did what they promised they will do. [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] I don't know if u remember that Andy Atkinson came a few yrs back and he gave his recommendations but PCB never did anything. I'm sure u know my brother that a professional CEO in a business is the one that says something and then actually does what he says and has accomplished it. In a business u get judged on what u say u will do in a certain time. When Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani were appointed in there respected fields they said that they will professionalize the PCB, Restructure Domestic cricket, Bring Int Cricket back to Pak, and etc. They are bringing professional people to revolutionize Pakistan cricket. In one year they accomplished all that and people still have a problem. All these people that are talking negative are just behind a keyboard and wouldn't make the decisions that Wasim Khan and Ehsan mani have made. Another positive is that they are willing to do new things and willing to make tough decisions. Allan Donald made tough decisions in 1990s to make Australia a powerhouse.
I dont know why people have a problem with them bringing professional people. India the other day invited Australian coaches to teach there own coaches. Its called a mutual programs amongst the countries.
They are making 6 HPC's and are getting qualified coaches in these HPC. PCB is the only Cricket board that has to sustain the domestic structure. Every other country has there domestic teams self sustain themselves. Well Wasim Khan is getting these 6 domestic teams to be self sustained so they can be accountable and have the freedom to make their own decisions.
Now the problem that everyone has is that "Why does Misbah have that many roles and why did he get appointed"?
Well for the 100th time I am going to say that he will be accountable for all the decisions that he will make. Misbah knows domestic cricket inside out. Give the man a year before you criticize him. Everyone said the same thing about Mickey Arthur but he had the time and they started doing well. Under Misbah Pakistan have done good in Test other than the Australia series which btw Pakistan has never won in history. They are doing better in T20 and Odi they still haven't played yet. Pakistan were losing t20s with Mickey Arthur.
Its exciting that they are hiring High performance people for the NHPC. They are finally restructuring NCA which was so corrupt and nothing happened in it.
NO development happened over there. The facilities are terrible. Ever since Wasim Khan has come he assessed everything and then got to work. He brought professional people to get it done
[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] tell me what coaches are good in the NCA? And how would u have restructured NCA?
Totally agree with your point that Wasim and Mani need time before they can be judged about what progress or lack of progress they have made. It's too soon to decide on how well or badly they have done in their respective roles.
However I have 4 concerns at the moment:
1. A guy as brilliant as Mudassar Nazar is walking away from this regime. That has to be a concern and an eye-opener PCB needs such people leading the way.
2. Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani told Mickey Arthur he would be retained as Head Coach, then they kicked him out at the last minute and brought Misbah in. This worries me about their decision-making process and future planning.
3. Most of the NCA staff are the same tried and tested failures who have been there earning a living doing very little for many years. The NCA needs a total overhaul, not cosmetic changes.
4. Many PCB departments are still running as they have been in the past in an unprofessional and haphazard manner with the same useless people in key roles. The media department is a prime example of this.
Some will say that progress is being made, but many would say that there are still a huge number of concerns and areas of improvement.

I agree with you largely. Except you are giving Misbah too much rope. He has made many shockingly bad decisions and demonstrated a stubbornness in the face of logic quite often. I do not really blame WK that much for this as he had to make an appointment and on paper, Misbah ticked a lot of boxes (sans coaching experience!). But his performance and thought process has left a lot to be desired. Give me Andy Flower for the exact same role Misbah has now and then you will see the difference.

Regarding the media department, my impression of Sami ul Hassan Burney was of professionalism and calibre. What are your thoughts on this?

city cricket needs to happen as soon as possible once this pandemic is over, youngsters are suffering badly because of it,
[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] My brother it's been a year already since Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani took office. Do you really think they did not achieve anything? The only way to measure success in a business is 1. to judge the person of what he said he would do and if he has done it yet. 2. To see what has gone before and what happened now. (Wasim Khan words paraphrased)
When Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani were appointed and had there first press conference they said they will do all the things I mentioned in the previous post and more. Correct me if I'm wrong didnt they achieve most of the things they said they will do. Now remember they did that in one year.
The reason why PCB has not done anything in the past is because the only thing that they can talk about their achievements is the PSL. When Wasim Khan took post as a CEO PCB didnt achieve anything so they had to hit the road running. Not everything is going to a successful and not everything is a success and I understand that but in a business that's what happens. You have to take tough decisions. If Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani gets more things right than wrong then Pakistan cricket will be a success.
We can all agree on the following things that they achieved:
Bringing the haul of HBL PSL to Pakistan
Restructuring domestic cricket
Professionalizing PCB so it become effecient
Bringing Test Cricket back to Pakistan
And many more to come
You have to give credit to Wasim Khan and Ehsan Mani on the things that they achieved. Previous chairmans first of all made all cricket related decisions and promised numerous stuff but never did it. I dont know about you [MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] but I did they have done beyond well in there respected roles as a CEO and Chairman. Any person that would have seen where Pakistan were prior to Wasim Khan being a CEO and Ehsan Mani being a chairman they would be astonished of the amount of work that has been achieved.
In any other country if this much work has been done people would be complimenting Wasim Khan, Ehsan Mani and the PCB. Pakistan journalists and the media are just so ungrateful and are always unsatisfied. They are always criticizing everything that PCB does. Then when Pakistan wins a tournament then they start taking credit for always supporting PAK cricket. There corrupt too. LOL
Now answering to your four concerns:
1. Mudassar Nazar was suppose to leave a year ago. But he took a one year extension because Ehsan Mani asked him to take a year extension. Dont get me wrong Mudassar Nazar is a great coach/director. Ehsna mani in a press conference has said that he is well respected individual throughout the cricket world. He is leaving for personal reasons. It's not like PCB is firing him. They fired the corrupt Ali Zia.
2. Mickey Arthur was probably promised but it depends on when he was promised. If he was promised before the World cup then I think you know why PCB did not need him to continue his services as a head coach. Pakistan had a peak in there performances but they didnt peak when the nation needed them too. Mickey Arthur had no strategy when picking a squad. Pakistan was regressing under him in the last couple of months of his tenture.
Pakistan was yeah number 1 in T20 but the losing streak started under him. They started to do bad become of his predictive strategy in games.
Mickey Arthur tenture record:
Test: Pakistan won 10 out of 28 Tests. They lost 17 and had one draw.
Odi: Pakistan won 29 of 66 ODIs, losing 34 with three no-results. Odi is where he regressed so much.
If you read his interview when he was disappointed of the news, he started saying how they were going to a exciting team in ODI. Like come on my brother like you had three years to make the team good and you couldnt do that.
I would have not continued with him as a head coach too. That is because he is not a good coach in terms of coaching technical to players. His batting coach was terrible too. The whole world knows FZ weakness but he never did anything. He also cant take pressure. You could see in the world cup and with the media. My brother trust me when I say that Misbah is an upgrade from MA. Misbah knows domestic cricket and does not select only based on PSL. Also Misbah has carried PAK to numerous 1 in test. He will inshallah make Pakistan good in all three formats. Judge Misbah after a year. He will 100 percent be accountable.
3. I totally agree with you that there are some coaches in the NCA that are not good coaches at all. It's a process my brother. You cant just fire everyone at once. You have to do it professionally. Wasim Khan and David Parsons def know that there are coaches that are not good at all. The post Head of High performance Coaching will retrain the coaches and update the coaching manual of Pakistans. Its outdated so it will be updated. Slowly but surely the changes will come and the success will come inshallah too. They are going to update the gymnasium and the fitness facilities. So they def know the problems and they will inshallah solve all those problems.
4. Are you joking my brother. THE MEDIA DEPARTMENT IS UNPROFESSIONAL. Like come on. They hired Sami Hassan Burney who is a professional person that has worked in the ICC for many years. Tell me if in the past there was this much information that was displayed to the fans. They dont leak any info like how it happened in the past. Every report would get leaked in the past. That doesnt happen now.
The way that Sami Burny and his team display information is very creative and professional. They do podcasts now, interviews and now lately during this pandemic they became creative and are doing live sessions with former greats with current cricketers. I remember when a day or two before Ehsan Mani's podcast came out. Pakistans journalists were talking about how PCB needs to do a Podcast with ehsan mani. Sami burney the next day or two came out with Ehsan mani and his podcast. He came in clutch and fulfilled the viewers request. That's what makes the media department professional.
[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] I dont understand how you came up with that statement? Never in history has PCB's media department been this professional.
PCB is being professional. Wasim Khan and ehsan mani are making it professional. They are hiring well educated individuals that work as there are privileged to do so. They will do inshallah more.
[MENTION=9]Saj[/MENTION] please tell me how the media department and all other departments are not professional? Especially the media department?
1. The mere fact that Mudassar doesn't want to continue is a concern. I'm sure all will be revealed after 1st June.
2. Why promise someone an extension in the first place. Why not keep quiet and wait and see till after the World Cup. Strange tactics.
3. I never said fire them at once.
4. Sami is not the only one at the media department. He's trying, doing his best, but others are letting him down. We deal with them, we know.
I'm not going to drool over everything Wasim and Mani do, like you are. They deserve some credit, but also criticism for things that have not been handled well. Some of the things that you say have gone really well, many others will disagree with you.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has hired a former employee of the International Cricket Council (ICC) to assist in marketing of the next cycle of media rights. The PCB is without a broadcaster after its contract with Sony/Ten Sports ended earlier this year.
Mirror has learnt that Campbell Jamieson, who was heading the commercial wing of the ICC as a general manager, has been roped in by the PCB. He has been assisting the Pakistan board in preparing the RPF (Request for Proposal) for the media rights.
Getting an expert on board looks a sensible move given the challenges involved in selling the rights in these times of Covid-19-driven lockdown and economic slowdown. Besides, the PCB will have to deal with the reality that it cannot assure the broadcaster of series against India, otherwise the biggest glue for any broadcaster. In the previous deals, the PCB could have a clause of a potential series against India.
“He is assisting the PCB as a consultant as we have had a lot of interest and are in the middle of an RFP process, which is due to be concluded in due course,” said a PCB source. Campbell’s contract with the ICC ended this March but Mirror understands that the Australian professional continues to do some part-time consultancy work for the world body.
It is not known if Sony is still interested in retaining the rights but the presence of Ten Sports in the Pakistan market could entice the broadcaster to go for a bid. Star Sports, the biggest cricket broadcaster in the world, is an option but there is no information of the channel having discussions with the PCB.
There are of course interested parties like ITW, owned by a certain Muralitharan in Chennai, who could show interest as it has in Pakistan Super League (PSL). Pakistan’s next home series is still not known because of the Covid-19 situation. It is scheduled to tour England in July.

Asser Malik is responsible for promoting Abdullah Shafique, Umer Khan and has worked with Gio Collussi.
Was an integral part of Multan Sultans set up this year. Interesting, refreshing pick.

That’s not fair. No no no.
The PCB had to appoint an Independent Judge to hear the appeal of Umar Akmal against the hearing held by the Musharraf era illegally-appointed Supreme Court judge who retired in disgrace when he was about to be sacked.
So today they have decided that it will be heard by an “Independent Judge” who turns out to be a Musharraf era illegally-appointed Supreme Court judge who retired in disgrace when he was about to be sacked.
Either Wasim Khan is too lazy to oversee the terrible work conducted below him or he is happy to swim in the same old cesspit.

Time will tell if they care for PK and have passion to make a difference. At least the era of the 70s and 80s do nothing and pick salaries is over, let's see if the era of the 90s cricketers is any different.
Yeah I absolutely agree. He is a intelligent man, that cares about youngsters.
Can you explain what his role is as a High performance operations manager?

Job description. BA type role, focus on business administration aspect of running National Academies and managing development programs.
Not sure there are any better candidates with Business degrees, 5 years of operations experience, and also worked in cricket capacities before, which he has done well with Multan Sultans and setting up the High Performance Camp at Tareen Academy.
Added bonus is that he is quite young.

"Yes we did build two high performances centres in Multan and Karachi. But I wanted to set up more such centres in other cities. Perhaps one reason for this is the financial health of the board" : Muddassar Nazar in his latest interview
Looks like PCB will regret this decision - lot of respect for Muddassar - a silent warrior, got on with his job without a fuss

I remember when Mudassar joined the PCB in 2016. He mentioned it will be his final cricketing job and in 2-3 years time he looked forward to retirement and living out the rest of his remaining life in England with his kids. The PCB had even given him a one year extension which he accepted but he both he and the PCB wanted to move on and they did it while embracing change and succession planning for the future
There is an interview that Mudassar Nazar did recently, which he had stated that in a interview.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.time...s-mudassar-nazar/amp_articleshow/76120703.cms
So if Asser Malik is going to he managing development programs, what would Nadeem khan do? Isnt that one of Nadeem Khan's job?
Btw Asser Malik is a fantastic signing. He knows how to negotiate the right way and he is intelligent, modern businessman, and has experience of running a academy, and knows many youngsters of Pakistan cricket. The way he started Tareen Academy and was running it was fabulous. He knows how to negotiate, as demonstrated by the elite coaches that came for camps for Tareen Academy.
PCB didnt make a decision to fire him. Mudassar Nazar himself said that he is going to resign after his contract is over, which was May 31. Mudassar nazar did pretty good as a director of NCA, but I feel he could have done way better.
Wasim Khan said that they will build 6 HPC. So that will mean more cities and major cities in Pakistan will have a HPC. So basically what he wanted to do but didnt do, will now inshallah be accomplished.

Someone doesnt leave a job because he is explicitly asked to leave. He can leave out of frustration also. Everything is not black and white.

True - works both ways.
The link that was quotes above seems to indicate that he wanted to do more. Hopefully more will come out later.

Mudassar when he joined in 2016 specifically said his contract was till 2019 and this would be his final assignment in Cricket following which he will go to England to spend time with his kids. He stayed an extra year because the PCB requested him to by giving him an extension and he agreed.
Don't see anything controversial about him leaving now. He has done exactly as he had planned
The bit about the financial health of the Board is worrying to say the least.

No where in that article does he state why he is leaving.
I tagged that article bc other posters wanted to know what interview did he say, that he wanted to build more academies.

Dont think the aim of building more HPC's will dissapear with Mudassar leaving.
Wasim Khan himself wants one in each major city.
Already have one in Lahore, Karachi and Multan.
One currently being built in Peshawar.

Reports indicate that PCB has given marching orders to 5 employees from the administration branch by serving one month's notice as part of their restructuring policy.
Seems that list of employees includes office boys and helpers and the layoffs will come effective from 1st July. Also to go soon will be non-performing staff for which lists have been prepared as part of cost cutting for a cash-strapped PCB.

Sadly this is the news everywhere right now. All organizations are looking to save on payroll, admin and utilities costs. It's a really bad situation, out of two performing employees, it has now come down to, out of the two who is performing better. A friend of mine who has worked at IBM for a good ten years is like he has never seen this level of micro management before in the company in his life and the people at the work force who were so friendly with each other have now become like animals where everyone is now looking to save his behind and are even resorting to all sorts of measures ie buttering, back biting against their colleagues

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to terminate the services of some of its employees belonging to various cadres and has handed them a one-month notice period ending on June 30.
A PCB spokesman said that the decision of downsizing in the Board has not been taken due to financial constraints caused by Covid-19 outbreak but it has been done as per the requirement of corporate norms since the staff in the PCB is surplus already.
The list of terminated employees also includes lower level staff such as the office boys which is rather amazing since their meager salaries are unlikely to be a major burden. It is also unfair to undertake such a move at this crunch time when the crisis situation caused by coronavirus pandemic has played havoc with the lives of people, especially the poor.
Replying to a question as to why the retrenchment decision was taken at his time when the problems of the general public had been compounded due to Covid-19, the PCB spokesman said that the step had been taken since the new financial year of 2020-21 was to commence from July 31 and things had to be reviewed.
When asked if a three-month extensions could have been offered to the sacked employees to help them cope with these tough times, the spokesman said it was an administrative decision and was taken after keeping all aspects in the account.
It is learnt that the PCB had made an amendment in its services act on May 15 for which it had taken an approval of the Board of Governors through a circular resolution. After that amendment, the PCB has started to cut down its staff.
Meanwhile, the PCB spokesman said that he had no exact figures of the retrenched staff but he could share that the staff belonged to all cadres.
Dawn, however, learnt that eight employees from Lahore and three from Rawalpindi are on the list of terminated employees and the numbers could increase in the coming weeks.
It is to be recalled that the government of Pakistan has been advising the private and government sectors not to sack any employee, especially during the Covid-19 epidemic.
The PCB, it may be mentioned here, has possibly the largest set up among the cricket boards of the world as far as its staff strength is concerned. Almost every chairman had made appointments to oblige friends and relatives and the staff strength is said to be been approximately 800.
The incumbent PCB body has already cut down the staff strength to some extent by abolishing the regional body system, where nearly 260 employees including groundsmen, curators besides office clerks were working and getting some portion of their monthly salaries from the PCB besides from their respective regions.
On the other hand, though, the incumbent regime of PCB has introduced lucrative pay packages for their top officials each of whom are being paid millions and millions of rupees millions in monthly salaries.
That includes Wasim Khan (CEO), head coach-cum-chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq , Director High Performance Centre, Nadeem Khan. Moreover, former spinner Saqlain Mushtaq has also been appointed at a very handsome package in place of Ali Zia and Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer who has replaced Subhan Ahmad.
