• Puttick confirmed as Pakistan batting coach

    Published on

    Andrew Puttick will be Pakistan’s batting coach during their upcoming limited-overs series against New Zealand.

    The former Western Province batsman, who made a single ODI appearance for the Proteas in 2005, has previously held batting coach roles with South Africa A, the Proteas Women and WP.

    The PCB also appointed Grant Bradburn as the head coach. The 56-year-old played seven Tests and 11 ODIs for New Zealand before taking up coaching.

    The head coach position fell vacant after Saqlain Mushtaq’s term ended in February. Abdul Rahman filled in for the three T20Is against Afghanistan last month.

    The PCB said the recruitment process for the team management beyond the New Zealand tour was ongoing.

    Former Pakistan head coach Mickey Arthur will take up the team director position after the New Zealand series, according to local media reports.

    Pakistan will host New Zealand for five T20Is starting 14 April, followed by five ODIs.
