The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has taken significant strides towards appointing a foreign head coach for the national cricket team. Following intense deliberations, the PCB has reportedly initiated contact with renowned Australian cricketer Shane Watson to fill the prestigious position.
Sources close to the negotiations have revealed that the PCB has made a lucrative offer to Shane Watson, amounting to a staggering $200,000 per month. Converted into Pakistani Rupees, this equates to approximately forty-six million and sixty lakh, making it the highest remuneration package ever offered to a coach in Pakistan’s cricketing history.
The potential appointment of Shane Watson has generated considerable buzz within the cricketing community, with many eagerly anticipating his decision. If Watson accepts the offer, he will not only assume the role of head coach but also hold the title of the most expensive coach in Pakistani cricket history.
According to insider reports, Shane Watson is giving serious consideration to the proposition, indicating a willingness to take on the challenging yet rewarding role. His vast experience as a seasoned cricketer, coupled with his tactical acumen, makes him an attractive candidate for the position.
The timing of these negotiations is particularly significant, as Pakistan is gearing up for a series of crucial cricketing events in the near future. With a T20 series against New Zealand scheduled to take place in Pakistan next month, followed by tours to England and Ireland, the appointment of a capable head coach is of paramount importance.
The PCB has expressed its determination to finalize the appointment of the national team’s head coach expeditiously. With the upcoming series and tours on the horizon, the board aims to ensure that the team is well-prepared and equipped to deliver stellar performances on the international stage.
As discussions with Shane Watson progress, cricket enthusiasts across Pakistan await eagerly to see if the former Australian all-rounder will don the role of head coach and lead the national team to new heights of success.
