Pakistan is searching for a head coach, batting coach and fielding coach after Australian Dav Whatmore left this month after serving for two years as head coach while Englishman Julian Fountain also stepped down as fielding coach.
"The list of candidates, who have applied for the coaching positions, has some impressive names but no decision has been taken on whether the coaching committee will consider a foreigner for the post of head coach or batting coach," a source close to the committee said.
The committee includes former captains -- Wasim Akram, Intikhab Alam and Javed Miandad -- and the director cricket operations of the board, Subhan Ahmad.
