PAK Squad For BAN 2 Test: A big change has been seen in Pakistan cricket. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) handed over the responsibility of head coach to the player who had retired from international cricket only last month. Apart from this, 4 new players were also included in the team. So let us know what this whole coup is.
Actually, PCB announced the squad on Saturday (April 18) for the 2-match Test series against Bangladesh next month, in which 4 uncapped players were included. For this series, Pakistan has assigned the role of head coach to former captain Sarfaraz Ahmed.
It is worth noting that Sarfaraz had announced his retirement from international cricket last month on March 15 (2026). Now after about a month of retirement, Sarfaraz was made the head coach. In the coaching staff, Asad Shafiq will be seen as batting coach and Umar Gul as bowling coach. Shafiq is already a part of both the men’s and women’s selection committees. On the other hand, Gul has played the role of bowling coach for Pakistan’s white ball team.
