Azhar Mahmood is named the PCB’s temporary red-ball head coach.
Mahmood will remain in the position until the end of his short-term contract, the PCB said in a statement.
The board further stated that the former cricket player’s promotion was predicated on “performance, familiarity with the players, and understanding of the team’s dynamics.” He had previously served as the national team’s assistant head coach.
“With his extensive international and coaching experience, Azhar Mahmood’s presence will be valuable,” the PCB stated. “Continuity and stability in the dressing room are made possible by his past involvement with the team.”
Between 1996 and 2007, Azhar represented Pakistan in 21 Test matches and 143 ODIs. He also held several coaching positions throughout the world.
