The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has officially announced the completion of Mohammad Wasim’s tenure as head coach of the Pakistan women’s national cricket team. The board has begun the search for a new head coach, with an official appointment expected soon.
Wasim, a former Pakistan batter, took charge of the women’s side in 2024 during a period of transition and rebuilding. However, the team’s recent performances failed to meet expectations. Under his leadership, Pakistan endured a disappointing Women’s World Cup campaign, finishing seventh out of eight teams without securing a single victory.
According to PCB insiders, several factors influenced the decision not to renew Wasim’s contract. Despite his batting expertise, Pakistan’s batting unit remained inconsistent and underwhelming throughout his tenure. Additionally, reports indicated issues in team management and communication, with concerns raised over limited hands-on coaching and lack of player engagement.
Wasim’s departure comes as part of a broader effort by the PCB to restructure and revitalize the women’s cricket setup. The board aims to appoint a new coach who can bring renewed discipline, energy, and tactical direction to the team ahead of upcoming international assignments.
The PCB reiterated its commitment to improving women’s cricket in Pakistan by investing in coaching, training facilities, and player development programs. As the search for a new head coach begins, the focus remains on strengthening the national women’s squad and restoring its competitive edge on the global stage.
