A “best possible” coach will be assigned in ten days or less, Naqvi

A "best possible" coach will be assigned in ten days or less, Naqvi

Regarding the selection of a new head coach for the national cricket team, Mohsin Naqvi, the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has made important statements and emphasized the need to make a choice within the next ten days. The impending T20 World Cup in the US and the Caribbean islands is the reason for this haste, emphasizing how important it is for Pakistan’s squad to have a strong coaching staff under their direction.

Reports at first suggested that the PCB would be open to employing a foreign coach, particularly in light of Mickey Arthur’s resignation following Pakistan’s underwhelming World Cup campaign. Naqvi made it clear that choosing the best player—foreign or domestic—to lead the squad in the next competition is the top objective.

Naqvi’s unwillingness to provide specifics regarding the new appointment highlights the negative effects of false information that has been leaked, as Australia’s Shane Watson has demonstrated by withdrawing from contention for the coaching role. The PCB’s dedication to upholding integrity and averting needless interruptions is reflected in this caution.

Naqvi also mentioned that Pakistan’s best cricketers will be attending a boot camp in Abbottabad starting on March 25 and emphasized the significance of the new coach going along with them. This emphasizes how important it is to have a well-coordinated team atmosphere and plan in place before important competitions.

In response to questions regarding Pakistan’s potential to host the ICC Champions Trophy, particularly in light of India’s historical unwillingness to play there, Naqvi voiced confidence in the PCB’s capacity to overcome obstacles and guarantee a successful event. This assurance highlights the PCB’s resolve to present Pakistan as a qualified host for international cricket tournaments and displays its proactive approach to managing any possible roadblocks.
