The elevation and enhancement of domestic cricket was at the heart of discussion when the newly appointed head coaches of the six Cricket Associations’ First XI teams met here on Friday at the National High Performance Centre.
On their first day at office, the six coaches held a meeting with Nadeem Khan, Director – High Performance, Grant Bradburn, Head of High Performance Coaching, and Saqlain Mushtaq, Head of International Player Development, to layout a strategic plan for the 2020-21 season.
In the coming days the coaches will work on finalising their squads and will identify goals and objectives for the upcoming season.
Balochistan First XI Head Coach Faisal Iqbal said : “It is truly an honour for me to be appointed as the head coach of Balochistan and I am looking forward to make the most of this opportunity. For me, this is not only a chance to serve Balochistan Cricket Association by sharing my knowledge, which I have gathered by playing at the highest level and through coaching stints, but also to serve my country’s cricket at large as a strong Balochistan team will benefit the whole country.
“I will strive along with the rest of the selectors to provide head coach Misbah-ul-Haq the support he needs in identifying players for the national team which is our responsibility as head coaches of domestic teams and selectors.
