"Having a coach is a waste of money and nothing else. In cricket there is no need for a coach. The captain is the leader and the main driving force behind everything," Qadir said in an interview.
He advised the Pakistan Cricket Board to stop wasting its energy and money on appointing a new coach in place of Waqar Younis who resigned after the team's poor performance in the Asia Cup and World T20.
He said the PCB should utilise the money it spends on coaches on improving its domestic cricket structure and giving domestic players more benefits.
"I would also urge the ICC to stop this practice of sending coaches or promoting coaching concepts in other countries as it achieves nothing," he said.

Qadir said Pakistan cricket had experimented with foreign coaches for years with no success.
"Between 1999 and 2014 we had several foreign coaches and what have they achieved is nothing. The only time we won the 1992 World Cup or the 2009 World T20 title Intikhab Alam was in charge of the team."
"Whenever we lose a series or tournament the captain and coach blame each other for the results. To put an end to this practice it is best the captain is made wholly responsible for everything in the team," he said.
Qadir said that no coach can ever make an average player great.
"At the end of the day it is the player's own personal passion, willpower, determination and hunger to improve his skills and become a top professional which makes him a better player.
