Pakistan Tennis Federation (PTF) president Kalim Imam said they had clearance from the government to hire India's Birbal Wadhera to train their senior and junior players.
"Wadhera is a renowned coach. We hope that he will help us groom some current players as well as some budding juniors and it will also help us develop our players besides having a good relationship with India," said Imam.
Imam said Wadhera will train at a month-long camp starting from May 10 in the Pakistani capital Islamabad.
"Senior players will be trained in the first phase, then some ranking players and finally some juniors will get coaching," said Imam.
Wadhera has said it would be an "honour" to coach across the border.
It marks the first time that an Indian coach will supervise training in Pakistan. Former Pakistan cricket captain Intikhab Alam, currently national team manager, coached the cricket team of Punjab, India between 2005 to2007.
