PCB forms board to look for coach

Zaheer Abbas

Former captain Zaheer Abbas has been named in a three-man commission to look for a new Pakistan coach.

The unpredicted decision by Waqar Younis to resign from the coaching post took everyone in the organization by surprise. The former speedster has done wonderful work in uplifting Pakistan cricket and it came as a shock to all when he decided to take a break.

Waqar will give up the job after Pakistan's tour of Zimbabwe, next month. Waqar had exposed that the decision is based on personal and medical reasons and he will make a return and serve Pakistan cricket again. In the interim, the search for a replacement is on.

The Pakistan Cricket Board, in the group, has also built-in its development manager, Intikhab Alam, and ex-Test wicketkeeper, Naushad Ali, while former Test opening batsman and now observer, Ramiz Raja, will assist the committee.

The PCB also revealed on Monday that the board will "look for coaches, both from within and outside Pakistan", and will start its work next week.
