http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Syed-Zaheer-Abbas-Kirmani-c92392 wants a three year contract for the new coach - Cricket News Update
Former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 captain and manager, Zaheer Abbas, believes that the new coach of the national team should be given a long-term contract with the Green Shirts as a sense of security is imperative for a coach to do well at the highest level of the sport.
Pakistan team is currently on its tour to Zimbabwe and the coach http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045, announced the upcoming series is going to be his last assignment as the mentor of the Pakistan team. Waqar stated the reason that he is suffering from health issues and needs to spend some time with his family.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not yet decided about the successor of Younis but the board has formed a three man committee headed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ramiz-Hasan-Raja-c83872.
Abbas, who is one of the many great batsmen produced by Pakistan, is of the opinion that the new coach should be given a contract of at least three years. This way, the coach and the players can develop a harmony between themselves.
He said, “I'd prefer if the next coach was given a 3 year contract. That way he knows that he has some security in the role and some time to mould the team. In addition, the role and responsibilities of the coach should be made clear to the coach himself and the captain.”
There is a debate in Pakistan about the coach, as one school of thought wants a foreign coach and the other is in favour of a local one. Zaheer is also off the opinion that there should be a local coach because of the current circumstances of Pakistan cricket.
"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," Zaheer added.
PCB still has about a month to decide the new coach as Pakistan will take on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 in October.
