Aaqib Javed Tenure Done, New Coach Needed for Pakistan
If reports are to be believed former RCB director Mike Hesson’s name is under consideration.

Mike Hesson Front-runner for Top Job
It seems that all three were contacted earlier as well, but declined due to prior commitments. “The talk are at a very initial stage and it seems Hesson could be lured in if the negotiations are successful, ” an official said. There have been numerable foreign coaches that were associated with the team in the past, and didn’t have great experiences.
There’s examples of Mickey Arthur, Grant Bradburn, Jason Gillespie and even Gary Kirsten. It must be revealed that the Pakistani team has been ordinary in the last couple of years, where they find it difficult to win. After losing badly in CT 2025, they played a T20 series in New Zealand, and were thrashed badly.
