Pakistan’s women endured a tough World Cup campaign, finishing last. They lost four games, while three fixtures in Colombo were abandoned due to rain.
The PCB hasn’t appointed a new head coach for the Pakistan women’s side after their poor World Cup run. Reports hinted that former pacer Wahab Riaz was in line to join the women’s setup as coach or consultant, but the PCB swiftly shut down those claims.
“Wahab has been serving as a consultant with different PCB teams, but he hasn’t been handed any new role so far,” an official stated.
Mohammad Wasim’s stint as head coach of the women’s team has come to an end, with the PCB choosing to move in a new direction. Reports indicate the board is holding negotiations with foreign coaches to lead the setup moving forward.
“If discussions with the foreign coaches don’t materialise, the PCB will turn to local candidates, with former captain Bismah Maroof leading the list,” the source said.
The source mentioned that Wahab Riaz would only be considered for the women’s team coaching role if other candidates don’t fit the bill. However, Wahab has expressed keen interest in taking on the challenge. Pakistan’s women endured a tough World Cup campaign, finishing last.
