Former national team captain Misbah-ul-Haq is likely to be appointed as the head coach of the Test team.
During a discussion in a news program, analyst Shahid Hashmi stated that Misbah-ul-Haq will be the head coach of the national Test team.
He said that Saqlain Mushtaq’s name was also considered, but Misbah is currently the favorite.
Shahid Hashmi shared that eight coaches have been changed over the past two years, and this will now be the ninth coach.
On the other hand, former cricketer Basit Ali has also said that Misbah-ul-Haq is ready to become the head coach of the red-ball team.
On the social media platform X, despite no confirmation from PCB or Misbah, Basit Ali congratulated the former captain.
He wrote, “Head coach of the red-ball team, Misbah-ul-Haq, congratulations,” and shared a photo of Misbah wearing the Test jersey.
It is worth mentioning that PCB has appointed New Zealand’s Mike Hesson as the head coach of the white-ball team.
Former New Zealand head coach Mike Hesson was a strong contender to replace Aaqib Javed as Pakistan’s head coach. He is currently also serving as the head coach of Islamabad United.
