Pakistan’s disastrous home series against Sri Lanka ended a couple of days back. To make matters worse, despite being the top ranked T20 side; the green shirts lost to a second string Lankan eleven. So, now there is a definite need for Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to intervene. Hence, here is a look at what must be done before the start of the T20 series in Australian.

Appoint A Power Hitting Coach

Get hold of Abdur Razzaq or for that matter even a foreign coach who is capable of raising the power game of Pakistani batsmen like Babar Azam, Haris Sohail, Sarfraz Ahmed etc. Former captain, Ramiz Raja has been very vocal in this regard. There is no doubt that Pakistani batsmen lack the ability to hit sixes. Therefore, PCB needs to provide an assistant to head coach Misbah-ul-Haq to reduce his burden as well as to make up for where the 45 year old lags behind himself.

Appoint A Sports Psychologist

Pakistani cricketers are in the middle of a tough phase since the last few months and they look visibly dejected on the field. Thus, after Pakistan’s disastrous home series, PCB most definitely needs to hire a renowned sports psychologist (even if the appointment is short-term) who can then work on easing the mental pressure that the entire dressing room finds itself in.

Take A U-Turn If Needed

Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis’ appointment has been an issue of concern ever since the two gentlemen took over the prestigious roles. The results this far suggest that the concerns were indeed pretty valid to say the least. If things don’t quite work out by the next couple of series; then rather than waiting for too long, PCB would be better off taking a u-turn and sacking Sarfraz Ahmed as well as Misbah-ul-Haq and Waqar Younis.
