With the role of the Head coach of the Pakistan cricket team now up for grabs, Mohsin Khan has thrown his hat in the ring for the top role after Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced non-renewal of the national coaching staff in aftermath of disappointed World Cup 2019.

The PCB had decided to not renew Mickey Arthur and his coaching staff’s contracts after Men in Green’s dismal show in the World Cup, where they failed to qualify for the semi-finals in England.

Mohsin, who has already served the Pakistan cricket as a chief selector and also as the interim head coach, believes that there is no need to look for a foreign coach and foreign support staff, as the former cricketers are enough capable to deliver the result.

As per reports in PTI, Mohsin said at an event, “I have been offered positions twice thrice by the previous board set-up but I did not accept because I could not work with a corrupt set-up. But I am willing to work with this set-up provided they show respect to their own players.”

He continued, “What have these foreign coaches achieved when the board has hired them. What did Arthur achieve? Sometimes, I feel those people have not utilized my expertise as they know I am not corrupt and will not do any hanky panky.”

Meanwhile, Aamir Sohail, former Pakistan opener, who has also served as chief selector in the past, also suggested the PCB to hire a local coach for the national team.

Sohail signed off by saying, “Yes, it was the right thing to do after three years but what is important is to see what happens now. I think we have enough capable people in our own country who can do a good job with the team. They have asked for coaches qualified to run so many software programs to apply for the coaching positions and the funny thing is that what steps does the board take to educate its own local coaches in such programs.”
