Islamabad, Nov 30 (ANI): Former Pakistan cricketer Wasim Akram has urged the nation's cricket authorities to appoint a single head coach rather than three separate ones for bowling, batting and fielding.
Pakistan has been hunting for a national team coach since Waqar Younis quit the post in September this year citing health problems.
Former opening batsman Mohsin Khan has since led the team on an interim basis and has shown a willingness to continue.
However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has formed a three-man committee to find a replacement for Younis, suggesting that a foreigner would be better suited for the post.
New PCB chief Zaka Ashraf has stressed the need for separate batting, fielding and bowling coaches in addition to a head coach, but Wasim thinks it is not a very good idea.
"I think the idea of separate coaches doesn't suit Pakistan," The Nation quoted Wasim, as saying.
"Pakistan need one head coach who should guide the team... in case of too many coaches, things will get complicated," he added.
The PCB committee had shortlisted five candidates for the post, but progress has been delayed after Ashraf said he wanted separate coaches for each department. (ANI)
