However, it seems that the board has no plans to retain them in any capacity.
The only foreign coaches who are currently with the national team are conditioning coach Derricks Simon and physiotherapist Cliff Deacon, as confirmed by the PCB.
The PCB has already appointed Muhammad Hafeez as Director Pakistan Cricket team in place of Arthur. He has also been given additional role as head coach of the team during their tour to Australia and New Zealand.
The PCB has also appointed Umar Gul and Saeed Ajmal as Pakistan’s bowling coaches.
