Karachi: misbah-ul-haqiThe tenure as the head coach of the national cricket team is likely to continue through the upcoming t20 world cup Following Pakistan’s win in the rain-hit T20I series against West Indies.

Ahead of the start of the four-match T20I series against West Indies in the Caribbean PCB Cricket committee officials and technocrats were concerned about the team’s performance in the white-ball format after a disappointing tour of England.
A reliable source told PTI, “Basically everyone was curious to see how Misbah managed the team in the T20I series in the West Indies as the head coach in the white-ball format for the PCB. There has been a demand to review the situation.”
He said the board had started looking for other options as the cricket community was upset as Pakistan lost the three-match ODI series to England second string and compared to the T20 series some key players were missing from the home team.

He said the main problem facing the PCB is paucity of time with Pakistan to play series against Afghanistan, New Zealand and England before the start of the T20 World Cup in October.
