"I Have Not Been Contacted By PCB As Of Yet" - Misbah-ul-Haq On Taking Over As Coach Of Pakistan Team

Former Pakistan captain and head coach Misbah-ul-Haq opened up about returning to the national team as a coach or chief selector. Misbah has revealed that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not approached him about returning to the Pakistan team.

Misbah-ul-Haq took over as the head coach of Pakistan’s men’s team following their poor performance in the 2019 World Cup, where they suffered an early exit under the coaching of Mickey Arthur. The former cricketer signed a three-year contract as the head coach.

Misbah-ul-Haq Has A Good Chance – Abdul Razzaq

Earlier, former Pakistan all-rounder Abdul Razzaq suggested that Misbah-ul-Haq is a strong contender for the role of coach of the Pakistan team, citing the recent changes in the PCB’s leadership.

“Now, with the recent change in PCB’s chief, I understand that they are unable to make any decisions right now. However, I feel that Misbah-ul-Haq has a good chance of taking charge of the Pakistan team again,” Razzaq said.

Misbah-ul- Haq took on the dual roles of team selection and coaching in September 2019. However, he made the decision to step down as the head coach of the Pakistan national team following Ramiz Raja’s appointment as the chairman of the PCB in September 2021.

Recently, the PCB management committee, led by Najam Sethi, named Mickey Arthur as the Team Director and Head Coach. Mickey Arthur will work with the team virtually and will join the team for the upcoming World Cup, which is scheduled to be played in India.
