Pakistan set to sack entire set of foreign coaches - Who are the possible replacements?

The writing is likely on the wall for Pakistan's foreign coaches as PCB is likely to sack the entire hoard of their current coaching staff.

After yet another World Cup mishap, the Pakistan team has returned to their country amid strong backlashes. Although no public outrage has happened, fans and ex-players have bashed the team on social media and TV channels.

Captain Babar Azam is already feeling the wrath, and despite faith from India, he is likely to lose his captaincy after the Australia tour. And now reports are emerging that PCB will sack the entire unit of their foreign coaches.

Pakistan may sack the entire coaching team

Morne Morkel has already stepped down after World Cup 2023 debacle, and the others may follow suit soon. Batting coach Andrew Puttick is likely to be sacked, while the fate may be the same for Grant Bradburn despite their contracts till 2025.

Team Director Mickey Arthur's future remains under the cloud as the South African is likely to travel with the team in the upcoming Australia tour. Arthur's role is much more holistic and not enclosed within the national team, hence it is likely the former South Africa coach will continue his reign.

Morne Morkel to be replaced by Umar Gul

Morne Morkel's resignation means te Bowling coach is vacant at the moment. There are strong rumours that Umar Gul will be appointed as the next bowling coach for Pakistan.

Gul, a former Pakistan international, has 427 wickets for them across all formats and has previously worked with Afghanistan. The speedster may well be appointed ahead of the Australia tour.

Who will be the next Pakistan coach?

If the current set of coaches are shown the way, the Pakistan Cricket Team may witness a full Pakistani coaching contingent up next. Waqar Younis' name has been thrown in as a possible replacement, while the likes of Shahid Afridi and Younis Khan are set to have big roles as well.
