"Wahab has already been working as a consultant in the PCB with various teams but has been given no new assignment as yet," a official said. The PCB had decided against extending the contract of former test batsman, Muhammad Wasim as head coach of the women's team last week. A well-informed source said that the PCB was in negotiations with two foreign coaches to work with the women's team but nothing had been finalised. "If things don't work out with the foreign coaches, the PCB will look at local options foremost among them is former women's team captain, Bismah Maroof," the source added.
