However, at this time my family responsibilities are such that they need my undivided attention and focus,&quot; Coles said in a statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Meanwhile, the PCB has appointed batting coach Iqbal Imam as interim head coach for the upcoming series against Bangladesh, which will be played from October26 to November 4 in Lahore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan said: &quot;I am fully aware of Mark&#39;s personal reasons and appreciate that despite pressing matters, he remained committed to Pakistan and the national women&#39;s team.
