PCB to search Waqar's replacement after Eid

The Pakistan Cricket Board will start search for new coach to replace Waqar immediately after Eid.

The whole process will be handled by a special committee to be constituted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

A PCB official also made it clear that the option of hiring a foreign coach cannot be ruled out as the idea was to find the best candidate to work with the national team.

"Whether it is Dav Whatmore or any other foreign coach we are not discounting out anyone. Whatmore is working in India but obviously we can have talks with him," chief operating officer, Subhan Ahmad said.

He said Pakistan cricket had plenty of experience with foreign coaches in the past so it would be nothing new but the whole decision would rest on the committee that will be tasked with the job of shortlisting suitable candidates.
