Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is likely to remove women’s team head coach Mohammad Wasim from his position after a string of disappointing results.
According to reports, PCB has decided not to renew Mohammad Wasim’s contract, which ends soon. He was appointed as the head coach of the Pakistan women’s team in 2024.
Reports added that the decision was made after the team’s continuous decline under his coaching. Despite having full support from the board, Wasim failed to deliver results. Pakistan’s women’s team could not win a single match in the recent Women’s World Cup, exposing serious issues in performance and strategy.
Several players complained that Wasim did not provide proper coaching, reports added. Despite being a former batter himself, the team’s batting unit has become one of the weakest under his tenure. His behavior was also described as harsh, leading to poor relations with the batting and bowling coaches as well as several players.
Reports added that Wasim had also been part of the selection process for the women’s team and had made key appointments in the support staff, but the overall performance remained disappointing. The bowling department continued to decline, and fielding standards also failed to improve, with numerous dropped catches during the World Cup.
Reports suggest that the PCB may appoint a new head coach next week.
Pakistan’s women’s team performed poorly in the ongoing Women’s World Cup held in Sri Lanka and India. The team failed to win any of its seven matches, losing four while three ended without a result due to rain.
