Legends Lounge Success Philosophy
After former cricketer Saqlain Mushtaq’s contract expired in February, the post of Pakistan’s head coach became available. During the three T20I matches against Afghanistan last month, the PCB hired Abdul Rahman as the coach. He will now support the head coach in that capacity.
Between 2018 and 2020, Bradburn, the former head coach of Scotland, served as the fielding coach for the Pakistan national men’s cricket team. After the New Zealand series, Mickey Arthur, a former Pakistani team director, will take over as team director, according to local media reports.
