According to a report by news agency PTI, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Hesson have already informed the players about the decision. The former New Zealand coach joined the Pakistan national cricket team in May 2025 as the head coach of the white-ball teams.
His responsibilities increased after Sarfaraz Ahmed was removed from the position of Test head coach midway through the England tour. Since then, Hesson has been handling the red-ball team's coaching duties alongside his original white-ball job.
