Before the ICC T20 World Cup, there has been another change in the Pakistan team. Pakistan team has already changed its captain. PCB has once again snatched this responsibility from Shaheen Afridi and handed it over to Babar Azam. At this time a big change has taken place in Pakistan. Before the T20 World Cup, Pakistan has also changed its head coach. There was discussion going on that the head coach of Pakistan was going to change. First of all, there was talk of making former Australian legendary player Shane Watson the head coach. After this, there was talk of making South African legend Gary Kirsten, who was the head coach of the Indian team during the ICC World Cup 2011, as the head coach of Pakistan. Now apart from these two players, Pakistan has appointed another person as the head coach.
Which player got this responsibility
Before the T20 World Cup, Pakistan cricket team has taken a big step. Will this step be costly for Pakistan or will it benefit it? only time will tell. Pakistan has selected its country's former legendary fast bowler Azhar Mahmood as the head coach. It is expected that Pakistan will appoint a foreign player as its head coach. So that Pakistan should be careful of internal politics, but Pakistan has once again selected a former player of the country as the head coach. Azhar Mahmood has played a total of 164 international matches for Pakistan. At this time he has taken 162 wickets and also scored 2421 runs. It is clear that the former player has a lot of experience.
How long will be the tenure of the head coach?
PCB has officially announced that Azhar Mahmood will be the new head coach of Pakistan. Let us tell you that Azhar has been selected as the head coach for the New Zealand tour only. Pakistan has to play a 5-match T20 series in New Zealand. This series is going to start from 18th April. The first match of the series will be played on 18 April and the second match on 20 April. After this, the third match will be played on 21 April, the fourth match on 25 April and the last match on 27 April. This series based on T20 World Cup will be special. The matter of concern is whether Pakistan will be able to win this series with Azhar as the head coach or not.
It is noteworthy that this player has been given the responsibility of not only the head coach of Pakistan but also other posts of team management. Pakistan fast bowler Wahab Riaz has been selected as the senior team manager. Mohammad Yusuf has got the responsibility of batting coach. Apart from this, Saeed Ajmal will also continue his role as spin bowling coach.
