The Pakistan Cricket Board has decided not to renew the contract of women’s national team head coach Muhammad Wasim following a disappointing show in the ongoing Women’s ODI World Cup in India.
Pakistan finished seventh in the table of the eight-team competition, but could slip to the last position if Bangladesh do well in their final match. They have lost four out of seven matches while losing the remaining three. A reliable source in PCB said that PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi was disappointed that Wasim did not deliver as promised.
Wasim was appointed by the PCB last year and during his tenure, Pakistan lost to Sri Lanka in the semi-finals of the Asia Cup and then managed just one win in four matches at the Women’s World T20 in South Africa. The biggest complaint against Wasim is that despite being a batsman, no significant improvement has been seen in the national team’s batting prowess, which remains its weakest link at international events.
The source said there were also complaints about the head coach not being approachable or diving well with other team officials because of his attitude. The PCB is expected to announce the new head coach in the coming days and is in talks with a foreign coach.
– The end
