Hesson the new Pakistan coach.
If he can survive politics and engage them, watch out!
Renowned IPL And International Coach To Take Over Pakistan White-Ball Job | Pakistan Cricket News Today
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed Mike Hesson's appointment as head coach of the national men’s white-ball team.
He will be lucky to last a year not because of ability but politics.
and he's fired
/jokes
but seriously, how long will he last? THey chewed up and spat out Gillespie, who was a solid dude. Interesting choice by Hesson

Pakistani is like India corrupt at the top if he plays the game maybe he can last a couple of years but that is a harsh environment to succeed as a coach, differences of faith, match fixing makes big money for syndicates and you can't say no if you care about your family.

What we can take from this is that Hess loves money. He will coach the side out of Dunedin. Can't see him spending too long in a country constantly being threatened by nuclear bombs

They don't get the India money though (obviously) and aren't (or certainly weren't) super wealthy.
Remember when Mohammed Asif got pinged for spot fixing at Lords? He was on 35k USD/year as an international bowler. Given that was a fair few years ago, but Pakistan wasn't splashing money around then - no idea how it is now

Better than that now,Pakistan 20/20 comp puts more money in to the local scene.

Seems like they were willing to pay Watson $2mil a year last year.
Hess will also need to stand down for his Indian roles

Looks like there will be a new Black Caps coach and it will either be Shane Bond or Rob Walter. Stead out altogether.

Two metre Peter will be annoyed, thought he was well in the frame.

You would have thought they would have at least given the guy an interview considering his domestic coaching record?

I thought Bond was fantastic during his brief spell as our bowling coach, and he's one of the few commentators that actually come across as having a real deep insight of what's happening rather than reacting after the fact, so I'm hopeful that he'd be a success.

What gets me is that the incoming coach will be working with players that he has had no say in the selection of in this contract list.
There is also a list of 5 players who received casual contractswhich I'm not sure has been released? From what I understand those players are
Williamson, Conway, Seifert & Allen but I don't know who the other one is. -
