The source said Whatmore would take charge as head coach for the Asia Cup tournament in Bangladesh next month.
“It has been decided to release Mohsin from his coaching assignment after the England series and Whatmore has been chosen as the man to guide our team over the next two years,” the source said.
Whatmore, 57, coached the Sri Lanka side who won the 1996 World Cup. He coached Bangladesh from 2003 to 2007, leading them to their first test victory in early 2005 against Zimbabwe and also guided them into the super eight stage of the 2007 World Cup where they defeated India and South Africa.
“He will be our coach from the Asia Cup. The Board has also decided to hire English professional coach, Julien Fountain as the fielding coach of the national team,” the source added.
Mohsin coached Pakistan in their 3-0 clean sweep of the test series against the world’s top-ranked side England in the UAE this year.

@aamiir... not a very smart way to protest...1. bayizzati apni hui, kissi aur ki nahin, and 2. final nail in mohsin's coach aspirations, if they really wanted him as a coach they should have thrashed england and said look hes good for us, and we work well with him. Loser conspiracy theory my friend.
Hope he is insured
Wise Decision.
Good decision by pcb
Watmur is a very good coach
Coaching is a difficult task in Pakistan where everyone is a king player. Players already lost ODI as a protest for removal of Mohsin Khan.
He better tool up on his Urdu. Otherwise boys may not play well.
If he ever had the remotest chance, whitewash in ODI sealed Mohsin's fate.
good choice. pak cricket will move up
What's the fate of Mohsin Khan then? back to being the Chief Selector?
God bless him
