Mushtaq Ahmed expresses reluctance to coach Pakistan cricket team

Former Pakistan cricketer Mushtaq Ahmed stated he is open to coaching the national side but expressed significant concerns regarding the stability of the Pakistan Cricket Board. Ahmed, currently serving as a spin coach for Bangladesh, noted that the board’s habit of making abrupt, emotional decisions poses a risk to potential staff. He specifically criticized the recent mid-tour dismissal of seven players, head coach Sarfaraz Ahmed, and assistant coach Umar Gul during a series against England. Ahmed advocated for the inclusion of former players in management and decision-making roles to foster professional stability. He indicated that the fear of being fired during a tour has caused him to hesitate in seeking the position despite his desire to assist his country.
