Mike Hesson says he is open to a potential long-term role as Pakistan’s Test coach. In comments reported by multiple outlets, Hesson links his interest to the perceived strength and “untapped potential” in Pakistan’s red-ball pathway and suggests that future work could build on it.
Shaheen Afridi, meanwhile, signals that his immediate focus is red-ball cricket after making a return to first-class. The outlets say Afridi’s shift back to the longer format is expected to be a boost for Pakistan’s prospects in upcoming red-ball engagements. Both reports note that discussions about coaching plans and future steps are expected to continue, alongside each individual’s near-term commitments.
