If he wins he is good, if he loses, he isnt. No one really knows what he has or hasn't added. There is only thing we can say, he has won both games
Just an intikhab Alam type appointment nothing else.
The real headcoaches have made the team and the players who they had worked with are the ones who have performed till now.
Pretty much this. Unless someone can say what he's done it's all pretty meaningless at this stage.
Always liked him. When Whatmore's tenure ended, he had emerged as a front runner for the assistant coaching role and Mushtaq was preferred instead.
Obviously a coach isn't going to make a difference all of a sudden, but sometimes the environment and atmosphere one creates and small things like giving captain a bit more say and stuff brings better results from the team. Hopefully Shadab, Yasir, Nauman and Imad are going to improve under him.
I don't recommend Saqlain as coach, one with so poor fitness should not be a coach . Before you teach others, apply the teaching on yourself . I know he is not an active player but Saqlain should not look like as sweat seller , FGS.
As opposed to the incredibe athletic specimen such as Silverwood, Shastri and Arthur?
I think other criteria need to come before a coaches pecs and 6 packs. Saying that Saqlain should be a temporary coach and is not the right man - but only for reasons that he is not coach material.
Waqar gave us Shaheen , lets see what Saqi can give.
The best part about him is he comes across as humble, soft-spoken, no-drama, simple man, keeps away from social media circus, prefers to work behind the scenes, highly respected among peers and legends, and gets along well with everyone (including players and coaches from other countries). An ideal candidate for Pak coaching role.
Saqlain at 44 ( at least officially ) is much younger than them and his fitness is worst than them . I never understood the mindset of people like Saqlain, he earns money from a sports related job and still no fitness. An average person of his age has better fitness , even in Pakistan and definitely here in USA.
According to the Sports reporters, the feedback received from the players by the PCB on Saqlain has been really positive. He provides a very comfortable, open environment to the players in the dressing room, gives complete freedom and space to the captain to run the show and he doesn't waste time going on about what a great player he was, how he used to play his cricket. The results are showing on the field.
I wonder if the PCB will be double minded on finding another coach.

Is Abdul Razzaq also in the coaching setup for Pakistan? I never saw him in this T20 WC
Abdul Razzaq was one of the coaches that fought with players in the last season, this was in the same new report that said haris Sohail had an altercation with Faisal Iqbal.
Former Pakistan batter Mohammad Yousuf and ex fast bowler Umar Gul are in contention for the national team batting and bowling consultant positions for the upcoming home series against the West Indies.
The Pakistan Cricket Board hasn’t yet decided to appoint permanent coaches for the team with the interim team management under coach Saqlain Mushtaq is likely to stay in place, at least until the three-match T20 and One-day International series against the Carribbean side.
Pakistan are looking for temporary consultants after Matthew Hayden served a short stint in the batting consultant position during the T20 World Cup.
Bowling consultant Vernon Philander will leave the Pakistan camp after the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh.
Pakistan’s next international assignment after the West Indies series is a home Test and ODI series against Australia.
Before that, it is likely to see permanent coaches appointed for the national team after former head coach and bowling coach Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis stepped down in September.
"The Pakistan way" was Grand Bradburn's concept.
Not pleased that he was asked to resign.

Apparently Bradburn had been working from home in NZ for a long time when his role required him to be at the NHPC in Pakistan. Ramiz felt he was being overpaid and not providing much value and therefore asked him to pack up and leave
All due respect to Saqi bhai, but what is he exactly besides a glorified motivational speaker?
This guy doesn't have skill to be a head coach. He is not any better than Misbah/Waqar. He was lucky that we surprised India in their bad day in 2021 T20 World Cup. But shows of no power/vision in team selection. He kept Hasan Ali for 8 consecutive matches and we paid heavily in semi.
Same way he trusted useless Nauman, Sajid, Hasan Ali, Fawad and we lost the test series.
His silence of final 11 about Hasan Ali cost us first ODI.

Saqlain has bad memory. The Aussie team of the 2000s would score a billion runs on such flat roads.Pakistan head coach Saqlain Mushtaq lauded the Australian batters for their commendable show but at the same time conceded that the hosts were not able to produce spin-friendly tracks, leading to their 0-1 series defeat.
"There was spin in Tests but not like you would find in India or Sri Lanka," the 45-year-old spinner told media in Karachi on Monday. "I think in the last 8-10 years, they have improved a lot in playing spin because when I was playing, they couldn't play spin that well and didn't know how to pick up differences for playing with the spin or
against it.
"But in this series I thought Usman Khawaja and Steve Smith really batted well against us."
Saqlain conceded that the Pakistani spinners didn't come up to expectations and would need to work further on their bowling.
"I think they need to do more to add more variations into their bowling. It is not that they bowled badly but to be fair to them the pitches didn't give them that much support but against top batting, they need to improve upon their variations. Come up with something different."

What a pathetic comment.
You don't "surprise" an opponents and win by 10 wickets.
I agree , Saqlain is the most useless coach we had in decades , 2nd worst only to Misbah . I'm OK with him being a spin bowling consultant but not more than that, team coach, no way.
Saqlain is happy to carry on with Sajid, Nauman and Hasan cost us test series. His silence about Hasan Ali's selection cost us semi. This guy is nothing but Yes man. PCB rather have no coach. At least PCB could save some money since foreign coaches lost interest to apply for the job when Wasim Khan advertised those fake job advertisement. Now Ramiz did the same.
You're not replying to what I said.
I was referring to your statement on Pakistan somehow fluking a 10 Wicket win.
Didn't weakest WI beat Pakistan by 10 wickets in 1992? That was also fluke. India is far more stronger team than us. We lost to Australia D team in test in flat pitch.
