Shane Watson withdraws from the race to become Pakistan’s head coach

Shane Watson withdraws from the race to become Pakistan's head coach

Cricket Watson close associates informed Pakistan that he was considering the offer carefully and was awaiting a formal agreement. But that was then, and this is today.

Despite the PCB’s desire for him to take the position, Shane Watson has reportedly opted not to take over as Pakistan’s limited-overs head coach, according to ESPNcricinfo.

When Watson saw that the PCB was willing to pay him well, he became intrigued about leading the Pakistani squad. His family made him hesitant at first, but he subsequently declared that if he won a lot of money, he would do it. The PCB surprisingly accepted and extended an offer of $2 million year, a substantial sum of money.

Watson was considering the offer, according to those close to him, and was awaiting a formal agreement, Cricket Pakistan was informed. However, he has now had second thoughts.

For the time being, Watson wants to concentrate on his work as a coach and commentator. Following his tenure as coach of the Quetta Gladiators in PSL 9, he will be an IPL pundit. In Major League Cricket, he will continue to coach the San Francisco Unicorns. He explained that he declined the employment offer from Pakistan because he values his family and his time in Sydney.
