The development comes after Aaqib Javed's contract as the interim head coach ended after the tour to New Zealand. It was learned that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was keen to appoint someone on a full-time basis, and Javed also decided against renewing his contract as head coach.
Recently, it was learned that PCB was in talks with Australian Simon Katich and New Zealand’s current batting coach, Luke Ronchi, along with Mike Hesson. Among them, the former New Zealand international got the nod ahead and will be taking charge of the team.
Mike Hesson joining the Pakistan National Cricket Team will be a major boost for the team
Hesson is also the coach of Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League. The former New Zealand star has been doing a great job for the last few years, and it was under him only that the franchise went on to win the title last year.
Mike Hesson would be hoping that he gels well with the officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The previous foreign coaches were sacked due to their poor relationship with the board. Before Aaqib Javed, Garry Kirsten, and Jason Gillespie faced the same fate.
