Pakistan has made this senior player as its new coach, which is the RCP.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCP) has appointed Mike Hesan as the new white ball coach of the men’s cricket team. The appointment of this experienced coach in New Zealand will come into effect from May 26. However, information on the period of their contracts is not currently being made public.
50 -Yes -Ald Mike Hesan is considered an experienced and successful coach. He was the head coach of the New Zealand men’s team from 2012 to 2018, and at that time the Kiwi team had a huge success in all forms. In addition, from 2019 to 2023, Royal Challengers were part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore training staff in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and performed well there.
Currently, Hesen is the head coach of the Islamabad United, who recently won the Pakistan Super League (BSL) title.
The challenge to come before Mike Hesan
Mike Hesen will be the first challenge as Pakistan coach in the T20 international series against Bangladesh, although the series’s plan is likely to change. Hesan has changed the interim coach after Gary Kirsten suddenly resigned in October 2024. Kirstan was appointed in a two -year contract in April 2024 in South Africa, but left the post within six months.
Now the responsibility of the High performance Director has been given to Akib Javed. In this role, he will continue to participate in the decision process related to the selection committee. PCP president Mosin Naqvi expressed his happiness about the appointment of Mosin Naqvi, and hoped that his experience would take Pakistan’s white ball cricket to a new height.
Naqvi, ‘I am happy to announce that former New Zealand cricketer and senior coach Mike Heson has been appointed as the white ball head coach of the Pakistan men’s team. Mikes have an international experience and a great achievement for raising competition teams. We expect Pakistan to design the future of Pakistan’s white ball cricket with their expertise and leadership.
Hesan, who succeeded as New Zealand’s head coach, was considered a strong contest after advertising this post of the PCP. This year, Pakistan’s performance on the New Zealand tour was bad, after the worst performance in the Champions Trophy.
7 people submitted applications for this post
A total of 7 people, including 4 foreign competitors, submitted applications for this post. Heson is the 5th foreign head coach appointed with Pakistan since 2023. Grand Broadburn, Mickey Arthur, Simon Helmet, Gary Kirsten and Jason Killlesby have also trained the team.
Broadburn, Arthur, Kirsten and Gillibi all resigned without completing their contracts, while the helmet was appointed as the top performance coach for a tour of Australia at the beginning of 2023.
The other coach resigned with the identity of the PCP’s activity and was not happy with his relationship with him. The PCP has repeatedly replaced the assistance staff associated with the men’s team, including the main post of the head coach.
Chocolan Mushtak, Muhammad Hafeez and Akhib Javed have also worked with the national team as a team director or head coach, but they have not received much success.
