ISLAMABAD (PEN) : Former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq is reportedly under consideration for the position of head coach for the national Test cricket team. This development comes amid ongoing uncertainty within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) regarding the appointment process.
Misbah’s Interest and Concerns
Sources close to the matter indicate that Misbah has expressed a keen interest in leading the Test team and has been in discussions with the PCB about the role. However, he has also raised concerns about the lack of clarity surrounding the recruitment process. The absence of definitive communication from the PCB has reportedly led to unease among the national selection committee and team mentors.
Selection Committee’s Position
Despite the prevailing ambiguity, the PCB has instructed the selection committee to continue with its duties as usual. However, insiders suggest that the committee has sought clarification from PCB officials regarding the appointment process, but have yet to receive an official response. This continued silence has contributed to confusion among selectors and coaching staff.
As the PCB navigates this period of uncertainty, the potential appointment of Misbah-ul-Haq as head coach of the Test team remains a topic of discussion. Stakeholders within Pakistan cricket are awaiting further developments and official announcements from the PCB.
