Former all-rounder Azhar Mahmood was on Monday elevated to the post of Pakistan’s acting red-ball head coach until the conclusion of his current contract, which runs until April next year.
Mahmood had signed a two-year contract with the Pakistan Cricket Board in April last year as assistant coach across formats along with Australia’s Jason Gillespie (Tests) and South Africa’s Gary Kirsten (limited overs), who have both moved on.
“The Pakistan Cricket Board today announces Azhar Mahmood as the acting red-ball head coach of the Pakistan men’s team. Azhar will serve in this role until the conclusion of his current contract,” the PCB said in a statement. PTI
