Mohsin Khan will be shown the door as Pakistan’s coach after the tour of the UAE if Zaka Ashraf’s quotes are anything to go by.
With the clean-sweep in the bag, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief has termed the 2015 World Cup the team’s real target, the ascent to which requires a qualified coach. Ashraf, while talking to reporters, said that despite recent success, a qualified coach was required for a longer period, who can help Pakistan achieve their real targets.
“No doubt the team has achieved tremendous success under Mohsin,” said Ashraf. “But we need a qualified coach. Our target is the World Cup for which we want to bring a qualified head coach.”
The PCB interviewed Dav Whatmore for the position and he looks the most likely to get the board’s nod.
Akhtar supports Mohsin
Meanwhile, former fast-bowler Shoaib Akhtar wants Mohsin to be appointed as the permanent coach.
“Mohsin has gelled the team well,” said Akhtar. “I don’t see any reason to remove him and the PCB should make his appointment permanent.”
