Former Pakistani Kamran Akmal has come out to put his opinion against the decision of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to designate Azhar Mahmood as another temporary coach of the Pakistan test.
Pakistan’s test team has been without the main coach since the resignation of the great Australian Jason Gillespie. Since then, the PCB has designated provisional coaches in the form of Aqib Javed, who took on the role of Jason Gillespie after he resigned.
Akmal goes after Azhar Mahmood appointment
Azhar Mahmood has been appointed the 7th Pakistan Testing Coach since 2021. This clearly shows a continuous disagreement and chaos inside the PCB and reflects a shadow of its inconsistency in vital decision -making.
Your daily dose of cricket!
“I simply do not understand the logic of this decision. It’s exactly like the time that PCB made Mickey Arthur’s Cricket director allow him to continue working with a regional team. I couldn’t understand then and now I can’t understand it,” said Kamran Akmal while referring to his opinions on Mahmod’s appointment.
Kamran Akmal disgusted with PCB temporary appointments
Pakistan has been a significant failure in the three formats of the game. Playing various CPI events, the results have been humiliating for Pakistan, with the last exit of the Champions Trophy of 2025, which was held on the floor of the house.
Kamran Akmal has supported the team and blamed the PCB for its inconsistent decision -making, showing a distrust of this temporary dating pattern.
“These decisions reflect the lack of seriousness. When the PCB begins to think seriously and act professionally, he will not have to make these commitments or temporary appointments,” added Wicker’s former Kamran Akmal Wicker.
Azhar Mahmood, since his appointment in April 2024, has been the assistant coach of Pakistan through the three formats of the game.
HIt is not, to resume its roles as a red ball coach, it is very likely that Azhar Mahmood will not continue to coach more white balls, as Azhar Mahmood was also not seen in the Pakistan White Ball series against Bangladesh.
Aqib Javed was named after Jason Gillespie resigned as Pakistan’s red ball coach
Jason Gillespie was appointed lead coach of the Pakistan’s national team in April 2024; However, after a brief stage with men in green, Gillespie abandoned the paper.
Following its resignation in December 2024, Pakistan designated AQIB Javed, the white ball coach, as the next lead coach of the test. He led Pakistan as coach in the two-game test series against South Africa.
Gillespie’s last task marked a home victory for Pakistan after a record of losing his tests at home; However, after Javed’s appointment, Pakistan lost the series of evidence against South -Africa on his tour of the African nation.
This has been indicated by Kamran Akmal as it suggests Pakistan’s problems in the long run.

The humiliating end of Pakistan to the WTC 2023-25
Many teams have not had the best impacts on the CPI World Test Championship, one of the main names in England, as the three lions still have to appear in the WTC final, which is on their land.
However, Pakistan had a disastrous campaign in the WTC 2023-25 cycle, where they ended up as a lower team in the point table and ended with only 5 wins in 14 test games. They had the lowest PCT at 27.98, even below Bangladesh and the West Indies.
