Pakistan head coach, Misbah-ul-Haq, has lately been under fire forPakistan’s poor performances. It has been rumored that Misbah might bereplaced as the head coach of Pakistan in the near future and some sourceshave even reported that Pakistan’s series against South Africa will beMisbah’s last as head coach.——————————

Misbah has, however, claimed that his future is not dependent on theoutcome of the South Africa series. “I don’t think that [my future as headcoach] has anything to do with the South Africa series. I have alwaysplayed cricket under pressure and you have to perform. You can never haveany security or assurances,” Misbah said.

According to reports, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has already contactedforeign coaches, Andy Flower and Gary Kirsten, to replace Misbah as thehead coach of the national team. PCB CEO, Wasim Khan, has rubbished awaythose rumors and said that PCB has not been in contact with any other coach.

The national team management has been under pressure due to Pakistan’s poorperformance on the tour of New Zealand and for their handling of MohammadAmir’s retirement issue. Many cricketing fans believe that the teammanagement should be replaced as Pakistan cricket has not progressed underthem.——————————

Misbah and the rest of the team management believe that Pakistan iscurrently in a rebuilding phase with an abundance of young talent that canget the team out of this rut.

Misbah’s future at the moment is uncertain and he might solidify hisposition if Pakistan manages to win the Test and T20I series against theProteas.
