The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) recently made major changes to its coaching setup, removing red-ball coach Sarfaraz Ahmed and bowling coach Umar Gul after the heavy defeat at Lord’s. Pakistan are now looking for greater stability ahead of their next Test assignment against Sri Lanka at home in November.
“I'd be open to it, for sure,” Hesson said at the post-match press conference. “I love Test cricket and there's enough talent around the system in Pakistan that if we provide some good direction, we can make some strides going forward. It's not going to happen in a game or two but there's some skill there I'd certainly be considering looking after.”
My Main Focus in Terms of the White Ball - Mike Hesson
Mike Hesson has reaffirmed his commitment to Pakistan’s white-ball setup through the 2027 World Cup. The coach also stated that the final decision is not in his hands, with the Asian Games his immediate priority.
It remains uncertain whether Hesson would have enough authority to make those changes if he gets the permanent Test coaching job. The PCB’s approach to selection powers has changed several times in recent years.
Mike Hesson Calls for Changes in Pakistan’s Test Selection
Mohammad Abbas briefly raised hopes with two wickets in the first over on the fourth morning, but England comfortably chased down the target to complete an eight-wicket win. Mike Hesson acknowledged the late improvement but warned that Pakistan cannot solve their Test problems overnight.
“You need you need players that can play high pace and that can bring different elements to Test cricket. Some of those you know you can find in first-class cricket in terms of performance, and for some you have to identify skill. In Pakistan, there's always a lot of talk about having a lot of natural talent, and there is. But at times, we have to be brave in terms of picking players that we think have those skills.”
