No new coach for Pakistan before England Tests

Karachi: Pakistan's cricket team is unlikely to get a new coach before the Test and ODI series against England in the United Arab Emirates next year in January.

Insiders in the board also said that while Dav Whatmore is a leading candidate to take over as head coach of the team, there are still some other candidates in the run who had not been identified.

"It seems unlikely that the PCB will appoint the new coaching staff before the series against England, since the committee appointed to shortlist, interview and recommend the final list of coaches for appointment has yet to complete its work," one well-informed source said.

The source expressed surprise over a recent statement from one of the committee members, Colonel Naushad Ali, who is also the associate manager of the Pakistan team in their ongoing series against Bangladesh. Naushad had told the media that the committee, which is headed by Intikhab Alam, had finalised its candidate for the position of head coach and for the other specialist coaching positions for batting, bowling and fielding.
