Mike Hesson to Remain Pakistan's Interim Test Coach Through Current WTC Cycle
Mike Hesson will continue as Pakistan's interim Test head coach until the end of the current ICC World Test Championship cycle, including the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. He took over the role after Sarfaraz Ahmed was sacked during the England tour. Hesson, who joined as white-ball head coach in May 2025, has a polarising presence due to his significant influence over team selection and cricketing decisions. The PCB plans to review his position after next year's World Cup before appointing a permanent Test coach.
