PCB Confirms Mohammad Wasim’s Exit as Women’s Team Head Coach

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially confirmed that the women’s cricket team will have a new head coach following the conclusion of Mohammad Wasim’s tenure in the role.

According to insiders, the board has announced that his contract will not be renewed, and the process to appoint a new head coach is already underway, with an official announcement on his successor expected soon.

Mohammad Wasim, who took charge of the women’s team in June 2024, oversaw several promising performances. However, the Pakistan women’s cricket team ultimately failed to meet expectations. Under his guidance, the side showed glimpses of progress in both bilateral series and international events, with qualification for the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup standing out as the most notable achievement of his tenure.

However, Pakistan’s winless campaign at the global event, coupled with losses to Ireland this year, all but confirmed his departure.

While the PCB has not disclosed specific details about potential candidates, insiders suggest the board is keen to appoint a coach who can bring a more modern, results-driven approach to the setup ahead of a busy international calendar in 2026.

The next head coach will face the challenge of not only improving Pakistan’s standings in global tournaments but also fostering consistency and competitiveness across formats—areas that remain key to the team’s future growth.

For now, Mohammad Wasim’s departure marks another turning point for women’s cricket in Pakistan, as the PCB looks to chart a new direction for the side with renewed focus and strategy.
