Former cricketer Umar Gul is most likely going to stay on as the bowling coach for Pakistan’s domestic T20 and ODI series against New Zealand, beginning with the first T20I on April 14 at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
Gul will likely remain the bowling coach for the second consecutive series, a reliable source told the publication.
It should be mentioned that during the series against Afghanistan, he already carried out his duties as bowling coach.
The source added that Gul has been told to prepare to continue serving as a bowling coach for the series against New Zealand.
Morne Morkel, a South African who was chosen by Mickey Arthur and is a member of the panel he chose for the national team, has reportedly already signed with the Lucknow Super Giants and won’t be able to travel with the Pakistani team for the series.
In the meantime, the PCB on Tuesday announced that during the upcoming series against New Zealand, the Pindi Stadium will host four international matches (two T20Is and as many ODIs).
The second ODI versus New Zealand will be played at Rawalpindi in addition to the first ODI, two T20Is, and two T20Is. Instead of April 26 and 30, the two ODIs will be played on April 27 and 29, respectively.
The final three ODIs will be played in Karachi, which was initially supposed to host four of them.
