Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis have resigned from their positions as head coach and bowling coach of the national men’s team respectively. Misbah cited spending “considerable time away from my family in a bio-secure environment” because of Covid-related restrictions as the reason for his decision, while Waqar said that since he and Misbah had started out in their roles together, it made sense to also step down together.

Meanwhile, PCB has appointed Saqlain Mushtaq and Abdul Razzaq as interim coaches of the team.
