Azhar Mahmood Named Pakistan’s Acting Red-ball Head Coach
World Test Championship: Ahead of Pakistan starting the 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle, former all-rounder Azhar Mahmood has been appointed as the side’s acting red-ball head coach and will serve in this position until the conclusion of his current contract.
Following Jason Gillespie’s exit as Pakistan’s red-ball head coach towards the end of last year, Aaqib Javed had taken over the role. But Mahmood, 50, now steps into the position following a long stint as Pakistan’s bowling coach and later being the assistant head coach.
“His deep knowledge of the game, combined with hands-on international exposure and proven success in the English county circuit, make him exceptionally well-suited for this position.”
