Waqar Younis Offered a Two-Year Contract

Pakistani Cricket Board recently revealed that they have offered Waqar Younis the contract for being the head coach of the cricket team. The former captain has managed to be a bowling coach for the team in the past but now he is going to be the head coach, which means that he can make vital selection decisions in the team as well.

“I put the matter before our managing committee and they chose the option led by Moin Khan which [Wasim] Akram had listed at number one. Not everyone was happy with the decision, but we let it go because there was no time to constitute a new committee and come up with different choices. It was never a Moin or Waqar option for us as formulated by Akram. The new formula has both former players in a format that we think will produce better results. That’s why I have now given them two-year contracts like [Dav] Whatmore earlier.”

Waqar Younis also came out in the open to talk about his role in the tea. The former captain and fast bowler said, “As I am in Lahore I just met the PCB chairman to express my availability as head coach for the Pakistan team, for which I have already submitted an application and I would like to express that I have no differences with Moin Khan or any player.”
