The PCB is due to appoint a new head coach, batting coach and fielding coach for the national side on Monday. Australian Dav Whatmore did not extend his two-year contract this month and fielding coach Julian Fountain also left. Former captains Waqar Younis and Moin Khan are among the favourites to get the top coaching job. Reuters
