Some excellent insights from Azhar into what's happening in Pakistan cricket.

Hopefully Azam Khan will pay heed to his IU Coach and not think that anyone criticizing him for his fitness is his enemy.

Any reason Azhar wasn’t interested?

Any reason Azhar wasn’t interested?

He was available to coach for the Afghanistan series but he wasn't available for the New Zealand series.

PCB wanted someone who was available for both series.

Hardly a great start for the new coaching team - a 2-2 drawn series against a weakened NZ side.
