The management of the PAK vs. NZ teams was shown.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) named the national team’s team management before the much-anticipated T20I and ODI series against New Zealand.
According to a release from the cricket board, Rehan-ul-Haq has been named team manager. He is the general manager of Islamabad United, which has won the Pakistan Super League (PSL) twice.
Grant Bradburn, a former New Zealand Test cricketer, will be the head coach, and Abdul Rehman will be his helper. Andrew Puttick will come as a coach for hitting, and Umar Gul will keep his job as a coach for bowling.
Reportedly, the team management has been put in touch with Mickey Arthur, who could become the team director in the future. After the tour of New Zealand at home, the job is expected to be given to the former head coach of the national team.
Bradburn and Puttick have been chosen to play in the New Zealand series, and they will get to Lahore on April 11. The PCB will announce the Pakistan team management for the series after New Zealand once the necessary hiring processes, which are still going on, are finished.
