The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed Grant Bradburn as fielding coach of Pakistan Cricket Team on a full-time basis for a period of three years (subject to review).
Grant Bradburn – who hails from New Zealand — will join the team in UAE for the Asia Cup 2018.
After his appointment, Bradburn said: “It is a great honour to be joining Pakistan Cricket Team and their high-quality coaching staff. I have seen the progress that has been made under Mickey Arthur and the opportunity to work with a leading full member team on the rise in world cricket, is a real privilege.”
He further stated: “Against Scotland in June, we saw the impressive changes that have been instilled, noticeably with the physical stature and fielding abilities of Pakistan’s players. I look forward to adding my experience to the players and staff, while being an integral part of the exciting and dominant team, Team Pakistan is becoming.”
PCB’s contract with previous fielding coach Steve Rixon expired in June 2018 and Pakistan’s tour of Ireland, England and Scotland was his last assignment with the Men in Green.
