- Richard Pybus:
Richard Pybus is an extremely reputed name in the English and South African domestic circles. Born in England, Pybus as a cricketer might have played just one solitary List A game, but his credentials as a coach are top notch indeed. The most impressive aspects in Pybus’ resume reflect his stint with Pakistan during the 1999 World Cup in England. With Pybus in charge, Pakistan made it to the finals of the tournament only to lose to Australia. The Pakistani outfit under Pybus however, reflected a sense of positivity and aggression which wasn’t spotted ever before. Despite doing exceedingly well, Pybus wasn’t completely backed by the inefficient PCB and didn’t feature with the team for long. He even had a short coaching stint with Bangladesh, before he took over a role in West Indies cricket in 2012. Considering his coaching experience, Pybus is indeed quite a decent candidate for the job. The metamorphosis of Shoaib Akhtar to a serious match winner took place under his guidance.
