Former players favour local coach for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 – Cricket News update
Following the resignation of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ramiz-Hasan-Raja-c83872, believe that PCB must appoint a local, who understands the dynamics of how cricket is run in the country.
The two players have been specially appointed by the board, along with other former players to look at candidates suitable for the job.
While the PCB has no objection in naming a foreign coach, Ramiz Raja believes that it is in the best interest of the national team, that they should have a coach from its own country due to political interference in cricket.
"The experiment with Waqar was quite successful. It would be ideal if someone from within the country with similar abilities and stature could replace him, he said.
His word’s were somewhat also echoed by legendary batsman http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Abbas-c41488, who too preferred a local from a foreigner, however, believes that if the board decides to appointed someone from oversees, it must ensure that the incoming coach is mature and will stay for
a substantial time period.
"My preference is for the next coach of the Pakistan cricket team to be Pakistani,” he said. “Although not entirely against a foreign coach, I think a non-Asian coach would be worried about the situation in Pakistan and this may affect the time he can spend
in the country and how well he can perform the job.”
Earlier, former coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Geoffrey-Francis-Lawson-c58815 stated the Pakistan must appoint a coach from abroad, who does not get influenced by the unique political situation in the country.
Longevity has been the main issue for any coach to have any sort of meaningful impact on youngsters and the way cricket goes in the country, with eight coming and leaving in the past decade, the most recent being Waqar, who is set to step down after the
current http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 tour.
Along with Abbas, the committee's other main members include former manager, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Naushad-Ali-Rizvi-c78868. Apart from that, Ramiz will assist the three, which hope to resolve this issue before the end of the team’s tour of Zimbabwe.
