New Delhi. After a poor performance in the World Cup 2023, Pakistan cricket is undergoing a period of major changes. Babar Azam’s team failed to make it to the semi-finals of the World Cup and Babar Azam resigned from the captaincy of the team in all formats following criticism from all over the country. After this Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) performed brilliantly. Masood Test captain and Shaheen Shah Afridi have been handed over the T20 format captaincy. Former captain Mohammad Hafeez has been appointed as the team director while former fast bowler Wahab Riaz has been appointed as the chief selector.

Continuing the order, PCB has announced the names of the fast bowling and spin bowling coaches for Pakistan’s senior team. Umar Gul has been appointed as the fast bowling coach and Saeed Ajmal as the spin bowling coach.

39-year-old Umar Gul has played 47 Tests, 130 ODIs and 60 T20 matches for Pakistan. One of Pakistan’s best fast bowlers, Gul took 163 wickets in Tests, 179 in ODIs and 85 in T20Is. On the other hand, as for spin bowling coach Saeed Ajmal, his cricket career ended due to a ban due to questionable actions. The 46-year-old Saeed played 35 Tests, 113 ODIs and 64 T20 matches for Pakistan. He scored 178 in Tests, 184 and 85 in ODIs. Wickets are registered in his name in T20.
