Zaheer Abbas advises PCB to assign coaching slots to patriotic ex-cricketers.

ISLAMABAD (APP) – Observing that former national cricketers are truly patriotic and can deliver their best to the players, Asian Bradman Zaheer Abbas proposed the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to go for all local coaching staff for the national team.

Despite Misbah-ul-Haq being favorite, there have been two foreigners – Dean Jones and Courtney Walsh – who have applied for the position of head coach while bowling coach candidates include Waqar Younis, Mohammad Akram and Jalaluddin. Batting coach contenders comprise Faisal Iqbal, Mohammad and Muhammad Wasim.

Zaheer Abbas said the PCB had hired many foreign coaches in the past and have seen the outcomes, therefore it is better to hire local like-minded coaching staff who can together benefit the team and players.
