Pakistan Cricket Board(PCB) has made a host of changes beginning with the appointment of a new chairman in the form of Ramiz Raja. The Board decided to also include former Australian opener and one of the most destructive batters to play in Matthew Hayden as the batting coach while choosing Vernon Philander, who formed a devastating pace attack in the early 2010s for South Africa as the bowling coach. Both players are going to be inexperienced in terms of coaching but played huge parts as players for their team. These coaches are going to guide the team during the upcoming T20 World Cup.
During his first press conference as the PCB chairman, Ramiz had the following to say when announcing the appointments: “Matthew Hayden is Australian, and has experience of winning World Cups and was a great player himself. It might be very beneficial to have an Australian occupying the dressing room. And Pakistan, of course, can win the World Cup, they just need to improve their performances an extra 10%. Vernon Philander I know very well, and he understands bowling, and has a great record against Australia."
