in Green in their next month’s tour of Bangladesh.
However, according to a PCB official, the Board has shortlisted a foreign mentor for the post, and for that matter, the formal procedures might take a while to come out with a final notion since negotiations between the cricket governors and the likely candidate
are still in way.
“We are in advanced stages of talks with a prospective candidate who has been picked from the short list of candidates recommended by the committee that was formed by the board to scrutinize and recommend a new head coach,” the official said.
“It is in that scenario that the PCB had put http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohsin-c77587 on standby to continue as interim coach for the Bangladesh series,” he added.

coach.
