PCB Posts Fielding Coach Vacancy on LinkedIn, Fans Mock Process
· Sports · Indian Express, India Today
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) advertised a fielding coach vacancy for the men's national team on LinkedIn on August 31, requiring Level II Cricket Coaching Accreditation and at least five years of elite coaching experience with national, franchise or international sides. The role covers both red- and white-ball cricket, with applications open through the PCB website until 5 pm on September 9. The post went viral as fans, accustomed to opaque appointments in Pakistan cricket, joked about nepotism and arbitrary recruitment. The PCB has not commented on the broader recruitment approach beyond the public listing.
Why it matters
The unusually transparent posting puts a spotlight on how Pakistan's cricket board fills support staff roles, but fan scepticism suggests the public listing will not by itself change perceptions about how coaching positions are ultimately decided.
