Karachi: The fact-finding committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board has recommended that head coach Waqar Younis be sacked and the board also appoint a new captain of the national T20 team.
Pakistans former Test opener, Mohsin Khan, who has served as the chief coach and chief selector of the national team, is being tipped to get a top post in the board soon.
A well-informed source in the board told PTI today that Mohsin has met with chairman Shaharyar Khan this week and expressed his desire to work as chief coach of the national team after Waqars exit. “Mohsin is in line to get a top position once the fact finding committee report is released by the board,” the source said. Mohsin was chief selector some years ago and was then appointed as interim coach.
Under him Pakistan defeated Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and England in Test series. He said that the board was however more keen on appointing Mohsin as chief selector.
“There are other candidates in line to get top positions including former Test captain Moin Khan and former Test pacer Aaqib Javed,” the source added.
The source said Shaharyar and his top aide Najam Sethi were also discussing the possibility of having a foreign coach for the national side. (PTI)
