NCA bowling coach Mushtaq Ahmed resigns, takes up role at international level

KARACHI – Former leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed has resigned as spin bowling coach of Pakistan’s National Cricket Academy (NCA) to take up a consultancy role with West Indies.

He is set to become the assistant coach and is on a contract that will need him to commit 150 days in a year, ESPNCricinfo reported.

He was to begin with the India tour, but could not link up with the squad because of visa glitches – Pakistani nationals have found it hard to obtain work visas for India due to strained political ties.

His first assignment will be West Indies’ upcoming tour of Bangladesh, where they are slated to play two Tests, three ODIs and three T20Is.
