\nGrant Bradburn has been appointed as the head coach of the Pakistan national men\u2019s side for two years following a robust recruitment process.
\nBradburn served as the head coach of the side during the recently concluded home series against New Zealand on consultancy basis. The Babar Azam-led side defeated the tourists 4-1 in the five-match One-Day International series that took them to the top of the ICC Rankings in the format. The five-match T20 International series was shared 2-2.
\nBradburn is well-versed about the strengths and challenges of the national side having previously served as the fielding coach of the national men\u2019s side from 2018 till 2020 before he moved to the National Cricket Academy to work on the coaches development. Prior to his roles in Pakistan, Bradburn, a former New Zealand cricketer, worked as the head coach of Scotland men\u2019s side.
\nPCB Management Committee Chairperson Najam Sethi: \u201cI am delighted to name Grant Bradburn as the head coach of our men\u2019s side. Bradburn joins the side with plethora of coaching experience. After having worked with our men\u2019s side before and at the National Cricket Academy, he understands our culture and philosophy of cricket well and is an ideal candidate to take our team forward\u201d.
\nBradburn said, \u201cIt is a great honour for me to work with the highly talented and skilful side like Pakistan as a head coach. We have been working hard on our raising our game and are eager to showcase our growing skills. Mickey Arthur and I are excited to support, challenge and develop our players. The New Zealand series has been valuable to get game time and create clarity of roles, culture and brand to win.
\n\u201cWe have raised the bar of expectation and we will keep challenging our players. The process has started and our players are agreeing to take these challenges head-on. ODI cricket has evolved and our agreed expectations are aligned to being the best in the world. We have mutually agreed with our players they are capable of higher team scores, even when setting totals. There has been immediate positive signs during this series and this group of players is determined to continually improve, to put ourselves into contention to win major events\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
