The Pakistan Cricket Board has recently announced that former player and chief selector, Muhammad Wasim, will be taking on the role of head coach for the women's team in the upcoming Asia Cup. This comes after a series of disappointing performances and a need for a change in the team's management.
During Ramiz Raja's time as PCB Chairman, Wasim served as the chief selector and will now be leading the women's team with the help of former Test bowlers Junaid Khan and Abdul Rehman, who have been appointed as the bowling and assistant coaches. This change in the team's management has been long overdue and is expected to bring in fresh perspectives and strategies.
The Asia Cup, which will be held in Dambulla, Sri Lanka, from July 19, will see Pakistan competing against other strong teams like India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Malaysia, and Thailand. The PCB has already started a four-day conditioning camp in Karachi to prepare the players for the tournament, and the final squad will be announced by the selection committee next week.
The camp includes a list of talented players such as Aliya Riaz, Anoosha Nasir, Ayesha Zafar, and many more. The team will also have the support of player personnel such as Hina Munawar, Abdur Rehman, and Junaid Khan, who have been appointed as coaches, along with Hanif Malik, Rabia Siddiq, Waleed Ahmed, and others.
It is evident that the PCB is taking a proactive approach in revamping the women's team and providing them with the necessary support to excel in the upcoming tournament. With the right guidance and hard work, the team is determined to make their country proud and bring home the top honors in the Asia Cup.
