Delhi: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is now going to appoint a new coach for the Pakistan cricket team, as interim coach Aqib Javed’s term is over. Mike Hessen, who has worked with veteran batsman Virat Kohli in Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in this race. He, along with Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers and other prominent players as RCB’s cricket operations director and coach, took the team to new heights.
Mike Hessen worked as the coach of the New Zealand team from 2012 to 2018, when New Zealand traveled to the final in the 2015 ODI World Cup. Currently Hessen is the head coach of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Islamabad United and won the PSL title to the team in the last season.
Mike Hessen will become Pakistan’s coach?
There are reports in the Pakistani media that PCB is again considering the option of foreign coach and Mike can pay attention to Hessen’s name. However, the relationship between Pakistan and foreign coaches has always been nothing special. Gary Kirsten and Jason have separated due to the ongoing differences with the coach boards like Gillespie. Kirsten had said that PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s intervention does not give freedom in coaching decisions. At the same time, Gillespie had recently claimed not to get salary on time.
This time Mike Hessen will have to see how much the chairman will be in the board and will they get the freedom to implement their strategies. This decision, which set the direction of the team for the next World Cup and T20 Championship, is very important for cricket lovers.
