Mike Hesson has been appointed Pakistan’s white-ball head coach. <\/b><\/p>\n
Hesson, who coached his home country New Zealand for six years, replaces interim coach Aaqib Javed. <\/p>\n
His appointment follows a turbulent period where ex-South Africa batter Gary Kirsten stood down from the role after just six months and former Australia bowler Jason Gillespie stood in temporarily. <\/p>\n
Javed was then in charge for Pakistan’s Champions Trophy campaign, when they were knocked out in the group stage without a win. <\/p>\n
Hesson is in charge of defending Pakistan Super League champions Islamabad United and will begin his role with the national side once the franchise tournament concludes. <\/p>\n
“Mike brings with him a wealth of international experience and a proven track record of developing competitive sides,” said Mohsin Naqvi, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board.<\/p>\n
“We look forward to his expertise and leadership in shaping the future of Pakistan’s white-ball cricket.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
