Mohsin Khan as head coach

E-Paper | June 12, 2026

ZAKA Ashraf, PCB chairman, is requested to reconsider Dav Whatmore’s case as Pakistan cricket coach.

Our cricket team got out in the first innings of the first test match against South Africa on the lowest-ever test score of just 49 runs. In fact, the second of February will be remembered as the Black Day of Pakistan cricket.

If the PCB continues with Whatmore any further, our team’s test status may be revoked by the ICC.

Pakistanis are fully justified in demanding the immediate appointment of Mohsin Hassan Khan, who lately proved to be the most successful coach in the cricketing history of Pakistan, as head coach of the Pakistan cricket team.

Moreover, he should be advised to take over the charge of his job in South Africa, as soon as possible. In case he is not available for any reason whatsoever, either Wasim Bari or Abdul Qadir deserves to be appointed head coach.

What were your thoughts when Pakistan won series against India? I don't think its only the coach to be blamed, what about inconsistency in our batting since ever?

Fault of the coach ? Oh, no dear. The thing to consider and review is that when team performs, example recent win in India, the players get huge extra payments as "reward", but there is no concept or system of penalties in case of poor performance. Why ? The same players performed and got rewards but why no penalties when they fail to perform ? After all they get hefty payments for "playing" and if there is reward for good then there must be penalty for poor performance too.

Australia in their first test in Nov 2011 in South Africa were bowled out for 47, New Zealand were bowled out for 45 in Jan 2013 in their first test in South Africa. South Africa at the moment has one of the best bowling attacks and our batsmen are not used to such conditions so this was not entirely unexpected. Misbah has united the team well but most of our batsmen have no experience of playing in South Africa. Our fielding has improved tremendously and at least the boys are putting in the effort. So before jumping to any conclusions lets wait and see how the series plays out and then act rationally.
