Former Pakistan captain who beat India in 2017 Champions Trophy final in line to become head coach

Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed is reportedly set to be appointed as the head coach of the Test side. This move comes after the role remained vacant for nearly five months, with Azhar Mahmood temporarily overseeing the team. Sarfaraz's coaching credentials were bolstered by his success with the U-19 team, and an official confirmation is expected soon.
