After being Coach-less for nearly a month, Pakistan Cricket Board has finally decided to advertise for a national cricket coach.

It is worth mentioning that former Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was murdered during the World Cup and the position is vacant from that moment onwards. With one-day series against Sri Lanka coming up very shortly in Abu Dhabi, rumors are that Pakistan would play that tournament under the guidance of an interim coach, as is the case with Indian team under Ravi Shastri for the tour of Bangladesh.

According to PCB advertisement, the new coach will initially be appointed for two years though contract can be extended on the basis of team performance. Former Indian coach John Wright and Leicestershire’s Tim Boon are the favourites for the job at present but one can’t rule out Aaqib Javed as well because he has done quite a work with Pakistan under 19 and A side.
