Umar Gul named Pakistan bowling coach for AFG T20Is

Abdul Rehman, the veteran homegrown mentor, has been named break lead trainer of Pakistan men's group for the impending three-match T20I series against Afghanistan. In the mean time, previous pacer Umar Gul has been designated as the bowling trainer for the series, PCB seat Najam Sethi declared on Twitter on Tuesday.

Mohammad Yousuf, who was prior reported as the interval lead trainer for the series, will keep filling in as the batting mentor. Going against the prior declaration, the PCB has explained that it was a blunder on their part.

Pakistan have been without a lead trainer since Saqlain Mushtaq's agreement lapsed in December last year. There was an endeavor made to rope in Mickey Arthur, who has recently filled in as the lead trainer during Sethi's past stretch as the PCB director. Notwithstanding, because of his responsibility with English Region Derbyshire, he was inaccessible for a full-time frame job. PCB is yet to explain the specific idea of the job he is playing with the Pakistan men's group.

Cliffe Minister and Drikus Saaiman have held their agreements as physiotherapist and strength and molding mentor. Pakistan will be without a few of their top players for the Afghnaistan series, which was set to start on Walk 24 in Sharjah.
