PCB looking for new coaches again

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is again looking for new coaches after the national team´s poor performance in the World Twenty20.

The PCB didn´t renew the two-month contracts of head coach Moin Khan, batting consultant Zaheer Abbas, and fielding coach Shoaib Mohammad. Also, Mohammad Hafeez stepped down from the captaincy after Pakistan didn´t qualify for the semifinals of the World Twenty20 in Bangladesh.

Pakistan also didn´t successfully defend its Asia Cup title. In an advertisement posted on its website on Friday, the board invites applications for head coach, batting coach, fielding coach, sports physiotherapist, strength and conditioning coach and spin bowling consultant.

The PCB says it prefers to have a former test or international player as the head coach. Candidates must apply by May 5.
