Moin Khan likely to become Pak's head coach for short period

Former Pakistan captain Moin Khan is likely to take over as the head coach of the national cricket team for a short period after Australian Dav Whatmore's contract ends in February next year.
A reliable and well placed source in the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) told PTI that while former coach Waqar Younis was a strong candidate to be appointed as head coach on a long term basis but it would be Moin who will be taking over as the coach for the Asia Cup and World Twenty20 in Bangladesh next year in February and March after Whatmore leaves.
"Whatmore will definitely leave after his two-year contract ends but since there is shortage of time for the board to make a long term appointment of the head coach it will be Moin who will be asked to take over the coaching duties on short term basis," the source said.

"Moin is a prime candidate since he has been manager of the team for a while now and is also on the popular list of the PCB acting Chairman, Najam Sethi.
"But Moin is averse to a long term role because of his personal and business commitments," the source added.
He, however, made it clear that Sethi intended to hold discussions with Waqar in the UAE since both of them were present there.
"Waqar is there commentating on the ongoing Pakistan and Sri Lanka series while Sethi has gone there on a visit and there are plans he will talk to Waqar about a long term coaching assignment," the source said.

"Waqar will be the top candidate when the board finally appoints a long term coach at least for two years and the former fast bowler himself has indicated he is interested in coaching the Pakistan team once again.
