The move comes after the PCB parted ways with former coaching duo Gary Kirsten and Jason Gillespie. Both were let go following a series of poor performances by the national side. Aaqib Javed was then appointed as an interim solution.
According to the report, Aaqib Javed has shown interest in taking on a different role instead. He wishes to serve as the director of the High-Performance Centre (HPC), for which the PCB has already released a separate job advertisement.
