Serving the role of Coach in Pakistan is one of the hardest jobs in the cricket arena globally. Besides cricket related issues, there is also a constant security threat.
The Asia Cup and World T20 were no doubt failed campaigns and Pakistan is encountering yet another restructuring process.
The constant rumors about Shahid Afridi stepping down as captain and retiring proved to be finally true as Shahid Afridi stepped down as T20 captain, being replaced by Sarfaraz Ahmed. The head coach Waqar Younis too relinquished his post and hence Pakistan is currently without a head coach.

The former batsmen have no coaching experience at a high level, and it would be interesting how PCB makes the decision in regards to this.
