Former Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf has said that Dav Whatmore performance as national team coach has been disappointing.

According to the Dawn, Ashraf revealed that he appointed Whatmore as head coach on the recommendations of a committee comprising cricket experts like Intikhab Alam and Zaheer Abbas, keeping his past performance with Sri Lankan and Bangladesh team.

He added that the expectations from Whatmore were high but he did not live up to them.

Ashraf expressed concern over the performance of the Pakistan team under Dav Whatmore and also sounded surprised over the meagre punishment given to South African player Faf du Plessis in the recent ball-tampering act, the report said.
