Shane Watson is the head coach of Quetta Gladiators in Pakistan Super League.
Pakistan Cricket Board has suffered a big shock. Let us tell you that former Australian cricket team all-rounder Shane Watson has completely ruled himself out of the race to become the new head coach of Pakistan cricket team. After this decision of Watson, it seems that Pakistan will be seen playing without a coach in the upcoming series against New Zealand and Pakistan.
It is noteworthy that Watson was working as the head coach of Quetta Gladiators franchise in the ongoing Pakistan Super League. So after the tournament ended, he was going to take over the responsibility of head coach of Pakistan team. But now he has withdrawn his name from this role.
Shane Watson took U-turn for this reason
Let us tell you that the veteran all-rounder has decided to opt out of this race due to his current IPL commentary and coaching commitments. If he had joined the Pakistan cricket team immediately, he would have had to leave these roles behind. It is noteworthy that Watson currently has an offer to become the head of America’s Major League Cricket (MLC) San Francisco Unicorn team along with IPL commentary.
Also, if media reports of ESPN Cricinfo are to be believed, then Pakistan Cricket Board had offered Shane Watson a fee of around 2 million dollars. But Watson has not accepted this offer of PCB.
On the other hand, if we give you information about the coaching performance after Shane Watson in PSL, there has been a lot of improvement in the performance of Quetta Gladiators. Also, there was a big change in the leadership of the team, Riley Russo was given the command of the team in place of Sarfaraz Ahmed. However, the team still could not make it to the playoffs in PSL.
