The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed Mohammad Masroor as the fielding coach for the national team’s upcoming tours to Australia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.
His appointment was made following the recommendation of Jason Gillespie, who was reportedly impressed by Masroor’s coaching style during the Pakistan Shaheens’ tour of Australia. Masroor also recently worked as fielding coach for Pakistan in two Test matches against England.

This appointment represents Masroor’s first full-time role with the national team, though he has previous experience with both Pakistan’s Under-19 and Shaheens squads. In 2018, he also served as an assistant to Steve Rixon during the West Indies series in Pakistan.
Masroor will depart for Australia from Karachi with other members of the squad. Meanwhile, sources say Aqib Javed may soon be named as head coach of Pakistan’s white-ball cricket team.
