Latif’s comments came during the third and final Test at Headingley, where Pakistan were bowled out for just 133 in their first innings against England. Saud Shakeel was the top scorer with 43, as Pakistan again failed to put up 200 runs on the board in the Test format. Earlier, Mohammad Rizwan, Imam-ul-Haq summoned by NCCIA over phone data.
This time, Latif questioned whether foreign coaches with IPL links can always be fully trusted when they work with the Pakistan National Cricket Team. Hesson has been Pakistan’s white-ball coach since May 2025. Before that, he worked with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the IPL and was also the head coach of the New Zealand National Cricket Team.
Rashid Latif questions Mike Hesson’s loyalty over IPL connection
Rashid Latif told a senior Pakistani journalist on his YouTube podcast, "Mike Hesson, for me, security concerns are a different thing, but the loyalty factor is very important for a foreign coach. When I talk about Bob Woolmer, I know he was loyal. He had such loyalty. Then, if I talk about Geoff Lawson as a person, as a player, he was professional. He stayed in Lahore. He had loyalty.”

Rashid Latif raises questions over IPL-linked coaches in Pakistan
Latif then raised doubts about coaches who join Pakistan after working in the IPL. Latif suggested that such coaches may have several professional connections and that the PCB should properly check their background and associations before giving them an important role.
Latif further explained, "The loyalty factor is very important, and it remains doubtful. I am not saying someone is not loyal; he might be, of course, he might, but it's better if these things are checked. Check the history. The connection would be there.
So, the damage that we couldn't do, maybe someone will who can damage you, no matter which coach comes from abroad. But one who is directly linked with IPL, from people there, who might want to use him—that's how agents are formed.”
