The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has brought back Shahid Aslam as the batting coach of the national white-ball squads after the players struggled in the recent series in Australia. Aslam has worked for several years with the Pakistan team in different roles like assistant coach, fielding coach and assistant manager.
For the last 2 years Aslam has been working in a coaching capacity at the High Performance Centre (HPC) in Lahore. Previously, it was former Test skipper Mohammad Yousuf who was working as the batting coach with the national team and was then made a national selector.
But Yousuf then not only stepped down as selector, but also as the batting coach and was working at the HPC. Yousuf recently also resigned from his position at the HPC but PCB rejected his resignation.
Aslam has been brought in on the recommendation of interim white-ball coach Aaqib Javed. On Monday, it was announced that Javed will be taking over the reins from Jason Gillespie until the ICC Champions Trophy early next year.
Javed who will continue as senior national selector has left to join the players in Zimbabwe where they will play a series of 3 ODIs and T20 internationals each.
