Advice: Wasim wants single coach
Says the idea of separate coaches doesn’t suit Pakistan.
KARACHI:
Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram has urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to appoint a single head coach rather than three separate ones for bowling, batting and fielding.
Pakistan have been on the hunt for a national team coach since Waqar Younis quit the post in September. New chairman Zaka Ashraf has stressed the need for separate batting, fielding and bowling coaches in addition to a head coach, but Wasim cautioned against complicating team affairs.
“The idea of separate coaches doesn’t suit Pakistan,” said Wasim. “Pakistan need one head coach who should guide the team. In case of too many coaches, things will get complicated.”
