Aaqib Javed likely to be named white ball head coach

Former Test cricketer Aaqib Javed is expected to be appointed as the head coach of Pakistan’s white ball cricket team.

According to media reports, discussions are underway to give Aaqib Javed the responsibility for the upcoming series against Zimbabwe and other future matches. A final decision on the matter is expected soon. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has decided to appoint a full-time domestic coach for the white-ball team to ensure stability and long-term planning.

Following that, from December 10 to January 7, Pakistan will play a crucial series against South Africa, which includes three T20s, three ODIs, and two Test matches.

If Aaqib Javed is appointed, his expertise and experience could important benefit the team and serve as a positive step for Pakistan cricket
