PCB appoints Mike Hesson as white-ball head coach

Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Tuesday announced the appointment of Mike Hesson as the white-ball head coach of the Pakistan men’s cricket team effective from May 26, a day after the culmination of the PSL 2025 season.

 Hesson comes in to fill the post after evaluation of numerous applications received against the vacancy, which fell vacant after Pakistan men’s team tour to New Zealand in April. “I am pleased to announce the appointment of former New Zealand cricketer and renowned coach Mike Hesson as the white-ball head coach of the Pakistan men’s team,” PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said in a release.

“Mike brings with him a wealth of international experience and a proven track record of developing competitive sides. We look forward to his expertise and leadership in shaping the future of Pakistan’s white-ball cricket. Welcome to the team, Mike!”

Hesson will replace Aqib Javed, who had served in the role on an interim basis for five months. Javed had stepped in following Gary Kirsten’s sudden resignation, which came just six months into his two-year contract. Javed has now been named director of High Performance. (IANS)
