Re: Geoff Lawson says, he is the new Pakistani coach
Not quite, most of the players liked Lawson from start.

One thing that goes against Whatmore, however, is that some senior players are reluctant to favour his selection.
Majority of the senior players who talked with ‘The News’ in the last couple of days prefer Lawson, saying Whatmore could be the one more difficult to handle.
“Whatmore has stayed in the subcontinent as a coach for well over 10 years now. On the other hand, Lawson would take this new job as a challenge. There are chances of Whatmore getting too monotonous,” a senior team member asking not to be named said.
He said though some players do favour Whatmore, most think Lawson would be a better option. “No-one is clear about how Whatmore would treat the senior players. Some senior players have apprehensions about the former Bangladesh coach,” he said.
