Sarfaraz Khan Named Pakistan Test Coach
Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has been appointed head coach of Pakistan’s Test team for the upcoming Bangladesh series, marking a major change in the side’s red-ball setup. The Pakistan Cricket Board has also added former cricketers Asad Shafiq and Umar Gul to the support staff ahead of the two-match tour.
Pakistan Test Coaching Staff for Bangladesh Series
Sarfaraz will lead the team’s coaching group for the Bangladesh tour, while Asad Shafiq has been named batting coach and Umar Gul will serve as bowling coach. The appointments point to a former-player-led support unit as Pakistan prepares for an important away Test assignment.
Sarfaraz Ahmed Appointed Head Coach
Sarfaraz takes over at a time when Pakistan has been without a settled red-ball head coach. The move gives the side a fresh direction ahead of the Bangladesh series. He also brings recent experience from Pakistan’s development system after working with younger and reserve squads.
Pakistan Squad and Bangladesh Test Tour
Pakistan will play a two-Test series in Bangladesh beginning next month, with Shan Masood continuing as captain. The squad also includes a few uncapped players, showing that the tour is not only a coaching reset but also part of a broader transition in Pakistan’s Test setup.
