Summary 27th change of coach since the Pakistan's sole WC win in 1992 provides proof of their cricket chaos.
KARACHI (AFP) - If any further proof were needed of the chaos prevailing in Pakistani cricket, the 27th change of coach since the country s sole World Cup win in 1992 provides it.
Pakistan s series against Sri Lanka, which begins on Wednesday at Galle with the first of two Test matches, sees legendary fast-bowler Waqar Younis return as coach three years after his last stint.
Compared to Pakistan s 27 changes since 1992, India have had 10 coaches, England nine and Australia just seven.
Critics regularly blast the constant changes within the Pakistan Cricket Board -- with its recent revolving door for the post of chairman and regular allegations of nepotism in team selection -- for holding the country back.
Younis s first shot as coach came from March 2010 to August 2011, and was relatively successful -- with Pakistan reaching a World Cup semi-final and beating Australia in a Test for the first time since 1995 -- but ended in an acrimonious disagreement over pay.
He has now been handed a two-year contract, but his tenure will largely depend on how Pakistan fare in the 2015 World Cup.
