Wasim Akram, one of the best fast-bowlers in cricket history, has stated unequivocally that Gary Kirsten should continue as head coach of Pakistan’s national team after the T20 World Cup and get considerable time to do it.
Kirsten’s track record of success with previous teams and his calm style as a head coach make him the perfect choice to lead Pakistan cricket ahead, Wasim Akram stressed in a recent statement.
Wasim Akram stated, “Gary Kirsten is the ideal candidate to lead Pakistan cricket forward.” “He is a calm and collected individual who has achieved success with other teams.” If the team doesn’t routinely win, we shouldn’t remove him after a few series.
Former South African cricket player Kirsten has a stellar coaching background, having coached South Africa to the top of the Test rankings and India to a World Cup triumph in 2011.
Akram emphasized how crucial it is to give Kirsten time to carry out his plans and tactics. “It is reasonable to assess his impact after two years. Building a solid basis for long-term success is the goal of coaching, not achieving quick fixes,” he continued.
Prior to the four-match England series, in May, Kirsten was named head coach of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for white-ball cricket. Additionally, Jason Gillespie, a former Australian cricket player, was named head coach for Test cricket by the highest cricket body.
