PCB chief seeks 'qualified head coach' to achieve 'next target' World Cup win

Malaysia Sun (ANI) Tuesday 7th February, 2012

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Zaka Ashraf has said the team needs a qualified head coach to win the World Cup.

Although he praised Mohsin Khan's as a coach, Ashraf said: "No doubt the team has achieved tremendous success under Mohsin. But we need a qualified coach. Our target is the World Cup for which we want to bring a qualified head coach."

The PCB has reportedly interviewed Dav Whatmore for the position and he looks the most likely to get the board's nod.

Former fast-bowler Shoaib Akhtar, however, has demanded that Mohsin should be appointed as the permanent coach.

"Mohsin has gelled the team well. I don't see any reason to remove him and the PCB should make his appointment permanent," Akhtar said. (ANI)
