PCB begins searching for an overseas head coach for Pakistan’s women’s cricket team, with the appointment expected before the upcoming West Indies tour.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has started searching for a new head coach for the national women’s cricket team, with a foreign candidate expected to take charge ahead of Pakistan’s upcoming tour of the West Indies.
According to sources, the PCB has decided to appoint an overseas coach as part of its efforts to strengthen the team’s coaching structure and improve its international performance.
The appointment is expected to be finalised before the West Indies tour, giving the incoming coach an opportunity to assess the squad, evaluate players and oversee preparations for the upcoming international assignments.
Although the PCB has not officially disclosed the names of potential candidates, its decision to look beyond Pakistan indicates that the board is considering international coaching experience and expertise for the position.
The move comes as Pakistan women’s cricket continues its efforts to improve its competitiveness at the international level. Bringing in a foreign head coach is expected to be part of the board’s broader approach to strengthening the team’s preparation, coaching methods and overall support structure.
Meanwhile, former Pakistan cricketer Wahab Riaz is currently serving as the mentor of the national women’s team. His appointment forms part of the existing support setup as the PCB works to improve the team’s overall structure.
The incoming head coach will be expected to play a key role in shaping the team’s preparations and strategy ahead of its upcoming commitments. The appointment before the West Indies tour would also provide an opportunity for the new coach to become familiar with the players and assess the squad’s requirements before taking on international assignments.
However, the PCB has yet to make an official announcement confirming the selected candidate or providing a timeline for the appointment.
The board has also not disclosed whether the recruitment process has reached an advanced stage or identified any specific overseas candidates.
For now, the search for a foreign head coach remains underway, with the appointment expected to be completed before Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies.
