Pakistan News: Both national and foreign candidates are open to apply >

After meeting of the 3-membrer committee today, the PCB has advertised the job for national coach, giving the candidates 15 days to apply for the role. PCB chairman has given the committee free hand in choosing any candidate they may feel suitable.

The committee formed for the selection of coach consists of Zaheer Abbas, Intikhab Alam and Naushad Ali, while Ramiz raja has been named to assist them. The minutes of the meeting have been sent to Ramiz in Zimbabwe where he is commentating on the current series between Pakistan and Zimbabwe.

After the meeting, Intikhab Alam said: "The PCB Chairman briefed us prior to our meeting and has given us a free hand in the search for the national coach. We definitely will be considering both local and foreign applicants and the advertisement goes up today and will give interested parties 15 days to apply for the role. 
 
"We will scrutinise and interview the candidates and then the PCB will announce the coach in light of our recommendations. Also, the committee can approach someone on their own if they want to." He said.

The committee was formed on 29 august following Waqar’s announcement to not continue with the job after the Zimbabwe series citing personal and medical reasons. No member can apply for the job himself.

Among others, the names of Aqib Javed, Mudassar Nazar, Dav Whatmore, Mickey Arthur and Mushtaq Ahmad are being speculated in the media.
