Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has officially announced appointment of Mike Hesson as the head coach of Pakistan’s white-ball cricket team.
“I am pleased to announce Mike Hesson as the new head coach of the Pakistan team,” said Naqvi. Hesson will assume his responsibilities from May 26, joining the national setup specifically for white-ball formats.
Naqvi said Aaqib Javed has been appointed as Director at the High Performance Centre.
Naqvi stated that the position had been vacant, and several applications were reviewed before finalizing the appointment.
Mike Hesson, known for his coaching success with New Zealand, is expected to bring valuable experience to Pakistan’s limited-overs cricket setup.
Hesson comes in to fill the post after evaluation of numerous applications received against the vacancy, which fell vacant after Pakistan men’s team tour to New Zealand in April.
Hesson had previously served as head coach of various international teams including New Zealand and Kenya. He is also currently serving as head coach of Islamabad United, who is the defending champions of HBL Pakistan Super League.
