Shaun Tait’s contract ends in February
The Pakistan Cricket Board is yet to inform about the bowling coach and what will be his future with Pakistan. Tait’s contract is going to culminate in February. Regarding the replacement of the Pakistan bowling coach, Umar Gul has emerged as the leading candidate to take over. The PCB however has not had word with Gul on this matter.
“It is an honor to work for the national team. After I retired from international cricket, I always wanted to work for my team as a coach, but PCB never approached me,” He said on Express News. The former Pakistan right-arm pacer has picked up 163 Test wickets and 179 ODI wickets against his name, He previously worked as the bowling coach for Afghanistan. He had stepped down from the post recently.
The Pakistan Team have not had a good home season on the back of a 3-0 Test loss against England. Then they drew the two Tests against New Zealand. The series ended 0-0. Then they lost the ODI series to the Kiwis 2-1. There have been reports that Babar Azam will be replaced as Test skipper and One-Day captain of Pakistan. The front-runner to replace him is Shan Masood as he is presently the vice-captain of the Pakistan Team in ODIs.
