The Pakistani cricket coach, Dav Whatmore, spoke about how he was honoured to coach the Pakistani cricket team. His last series with Sri Lanka ended in a draw, as Pakistan picked up a win on the last day of the third 5-day test match. Whatmore stated that due to this last win, his tenure as the Pakistani coach has ended on a good note.
Dav Whatmore has been the coach of Pakistan for two years and he ended his two-year stint after the three-match test series with Sri Lanka.
Pakistan managed to chase down a 302-run target for the loss of five wickets. During the process Azhar Ali completed his third test century while Misbah Ul Haq finished on 68 and Sarfaraz scored a massive 48.
Whatmore was also the coach of Sri Lanka back in 1996, when they managed to win the Cricket World Cup. While talking about how he feels after leaving the Pakistani team as a coach, Whatmore said:
“(I am) absolutely delighted, it´s a satisfying win… and a perfect gift the boys have given me on my departure. I am leaving on a very happy note.”
He also spoke about the possibility of returning as a Pakistani coach. While addressing the media, Whatmore said:
“I am leaving the Pakistan Cricket Board on amicable terms, but it´s not a case of leaving Pakistan and not wanting ever to come back. I am sure that I will be back in different capacity, sooner rather than later. I will always look forward to coming back to Pakistan.”
