Consequently, Watson declined the offer, citing his prior commitments as a commentator in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the USA league, along with the desire to spend more time with his young family in Sydney. Reportedly, the PCB had agreed to pay him $2 million. With both Sammy and Watson out of contention, the PCB is now expected to consider an interim arrangement for the national team\u2019s supervision during the training camp in Kakul from March 25 to April 8, preceding the home five-match T20 series against New Zealand starting from April 14 in Lahore and Rawalpindi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAHORE Pakistan\u2019s quest for a foreign cricket coach has encountered setbacks, with former West Indian captain Darren Sammy and Australian allrounder Shane Watson declining the offers.
