Darren Sammy rejects PCB offer to coach Pakistan
The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) efforts to appoint a foreign coach for the men’s cricket team hit another setback
Darren Sammy is reported to have rejected the Pakistan Cricket Board’s offer to coach Pakistan.
As reported, Darren Sammy— who is also Pakistan Super League (PSL) franchise Peshawar Zalmi’s head coach, refused the offer as he has an existing contract with the West Indies board wherein he is serving as the side’s head coach in one-day internationals (ODIs) and T20Is.
PCB’s efforts to appoint a foreign coach for the men’s cricket team hit another setback as its earlier bid to rope in former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson as the national side’s head coach failed to materialise. And Shane Watson, who is also the coach of PSL franchise Quetta Gladiators, returned home on Saturday night after rejecting the offer extended by the board.
According to the new source, the PCB might consider appointing an interim arrangement for the national team’s supervision during the training camp in Kakul from March 25 to April 8, preceding the five-match T20 series against New Zealand starting from April 14 in Lahore and Rawalpindi.
