PCB axes 15 domestic coaches

LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Bo­a­rd’s Evalu­ation Committee has removed 15 domestic coaches from its panel following a thorough review of their performances during the last domestic season.

Although the PCB has chosen not to publicly disclose the names of the excluded coaches, sour­ces confirm that 15 coaches have been let go.

The Evaluation Com­mittee, constituted in April this year, comprises PCB officials, including Director Domestic Cricket Abdullah Khur­ram Niazi and the department’s senior general manager Junaid Zia, as well as former Test cricketers Misbah-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali, and Asad Shafique.

Despite the new domestic season for 2024-25 already underway, the PCB plans to hire new coaches to replace those removed. In the interim, assistant coac­hes have been promoted to head coach positions for regional teams until new appointments are made.
