The PCB have appointed a four-member committee consisting of former players Ramiz Raja, Zaheer Abbas, Intikhab Alam and Naushad Ali to select the next Pakistan coach. Current coach Waqar Younis has announced he will resign after Pakistan’s tour of Zimbabwe, and the committee will find a new coach before Pakistan’s next assignment - Sri Lanka in the UAE this October. The PCB said they were open to selecting a foreign coach.
“Following the resignation of Waqar Younis as head coach, the board has formed a committee to look for a new coach from within or outside Pakistan,” PCB spokesman Nadeem Sarwar said. Pakistan have not had a foreign coach since Ijaz Butt became president of the board and removed Geoff Lawson.
Alam, who has had two stints as Pakistan coach, was recently replaced as team manager. Waqar had been contracted till the 2012 Twenty20 World Cup, but announced his resignation citing personal and health reasons. His departure means Pakistan will have to make their ninth change in a decade. In that time, the longest any coach had lasted was Bob Woolmer’s three-year stint from 2004 till his death during the 2007 World Cup.
**Pakistan’s coaches since 2001

April 2001: Richard Pybus takes over from Javed Miandad after a tough tour of New Zealand
July 2001: Mudassar Nazar takes over from Pybus, who steps down citing personal reasons
September 2002: Nazar hands the reins back to Pybus and returns to his coaching job at Pakistan’s National Cricket Academy
March 2003: Miandad takes over from Pybus following Pakistan’s first-round exit in the 2003 World Cup
July 2004: Bob Woolmer takes over after Miandad is sacked in the aftermath of India’s successful tour of Pakistan
July 2007: Geoff Lawson is appointed after Woolmer’s death during the course of Pakistan’s first-round exit from the 2007 World Cup
October 2008: After a run of poor results, Lawson is replaced by Intikhab Alam
March 2010: Intikhab is sacked and Waqar Younis takes over following Pakistan’s winless tour of Australia
August 2011: Waqar resigns as coach citing personal reasons
Both of them a big no no. Mickey Arthur suggested Pakistani players fixed a match (in his autobiography) while Greg Chappell is too obnoxious to be a Pakistani team coach.
I think Mudassar Nazar or Javed miandad might get the nod.

Mudassr or Miandad, oh please. A big no.
At the moment our batting is weak and I would consider Kirsten especially after his successful stint in India. Dave whatmore is another of my favourites. I hope they don't appoint Greg chappell
Kirsten left India ONLY because he wanted to be closer to home and now he is with South Africa. Besides PCB cannot afford what India used to pay Kirsten.
I dont think they will go for Dave whatmore. My personal preference is Aaqib Javed under the circumstances. But wont mind a foreign coach either (not Greg Chappell though)

Thank you Mr Zardari for ur demands we will look at it and then decide :D
As usual - another ex player wants to become the coach. Zaheer Abbas, who ironically is on the committee to choose the next coach, just threw his hat in the ring. When people within the committee to choose the coach want to BECOME the actual coach, thats not very impartial. As much as I respect Zaheer, we dont need anymore coaches from his generation. The next coach should ideally be foreign, professionally trained, and having international experience, be within the ages of 35-45. No more bhuddas and no more Pakistani coaches, please.
^ you do realize this is pakistan we are talking about, right? Its not going to be that easy getting a foreign coach for Pak considering the security situation and all. Infact, I doubt if any foreign coach would want to commit to coaching for Pakistan. That's just being realistic.
To be fair Pakistan have done quite well in international cricket (despite the spot-fixing controversy) over the last 18 months with local coaches (Waqar, Mohsin)
