• National coaching staff for the Afghanistan series will be revealed tomorrow.
• Mohammad Yousaf is expected to be named the national men’s team’s interim head coach.
• All-arounder Shadab Khan will captain the team.

The national coaching staff for the Afghanistan series will be revealed tomorrow, according to Najam Sethi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) management committee.

Sethi revealed that there are still a few details to be resolved regarding the team management during a news conference on Monday in Lahore.

“A few things still need to be settled. Hopefully, the coaching staff will be revealed tomorrow “He revealed.

Former Test cricketer Mohammad Yousaf is expected to be named the national men’s team’s interim head coach for the next T20I series, according to sources who spoke to Geo News earlier.

The PCB’s inability to reach a definitive agreement with Mickey Arthur over the job of head coach is likely to have led to the decision.

Sethi stated that there has been no recent progress on Arthur’s agreement and that it is still being worked on.

“We’re still in communication with Mickey. I’ve read news articles on this arrangement in the press. I posed a few excellent questions to [Mickey] after hearing them. Given that we have ample time to make a decision, “He said it again.

A 15-man T20I team for a three-match series against Afghanistan was also declared by the PCB on Monday. During the series, certain well-known figures, including regular captain Babar Azam, have received respite.

With Babar’s absence, all-arounder Shadab Khan will captain the team. The squad includes PSL 8 players Saim Ayub, Azam Khan, Ihsanullah, Zaman Khan, and Imad Wasim.
