Former fast bowler Aqib Javed has been appointed as the interim head coach for Pakistan men's cricket team till the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed on Monday.
As per the board, Aqib will continue to work as a senior member of the men's National Selection Committee during this time and will be given more duties after the eight-team tourney is over.
Meanwhile, the PCB will initiate the recruitment process for a permanent white-ball head coach, aiming to complete the appointment by the end of the ICC Champions Trophy, scheduled from February 19 to March 9.
The white-ball coaching role had become vacant following the resignation of Gary Kirsten. Red-ball head coach Jason Gillespie had coached the side during the recent tour of Australia, who will now rejoin the side for the upcoming two-Test series in South Africa.
The Pakistan men’s side is scheduled to play three ODIs and three T20Is in Zimbabwe (November 24 – December 5) and as many white-ball matches in South Africa (December 10-22 ).
In the lead-up to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Pakistan will host New Zealand and South Africa for an ODI triangular series from February 8-14.
