Pakistan cricket is set for a major shake-up following the team’s disappointing exit from the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.

New coaches will likely be appointed before the New Zealand tour.
Fans hope for a stronger team and better results in future tournaments.

Pakistan’s Champions Trophy Exit

Pakistan failed to qualify for the semi-finals after back-to-back defeats against New Zealand and India. The loss to New Zealand by 60 runs and to India by six wickets ended their chances, forcing them to rely on other teams’ results. However, Bangladesh’s loss to New Zealand sealed Pakistan’s fate, eliminating them from the tournament.

Possible Changes in Coaching Staff

According to PCB sources, the board is considering a new leadership structure. Discussions are ongoing about whether to appoint separate coaches for red-ball and white-ball formats. However, due to the recent resignations of Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie, finding experienced foreign coaches might be challenging.

Key Changes Expected:

Head Coach: Aaqib Javed and his team likely to be replaced.
Selection Committee: Possible restructuring for better decision-making.
New Appointments: Former Pakistani players may be considered for coaching roles.
Fast-Tracking Hiring: PCB wants new staff before the New Zealand tour next month.

Impact on Pakistan Cricket

The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy was the first ICC event hosted by Pakistan since 1996. The PCB had high hopes, but early elimination has led to calls for urgent reforms.

Why the Change is Necessary?

Pakistan has seen frequent coaching changes in the past year.
Performance in major ICC tournaments has been below expectations.
The team needs strong leadership to rebuild confidence.
Upcoming tours and tournaments require a stable coaching staff.

What’s Next for Pakistan Cricket?

The PCB’s Board of Governors will meet soon to finalize the changes. With a New Zealand tour approaching, the urgency to appoint a new coaching team is at its peak. Fans are eager to see who will take charge and how the team will rebuild after this setback.
