Misbah, 38, said the appointment of a professional batting coach would help improve performance of the team.
The PCB has invited interested candidates to apply for the batting coach position and has set a deadline of November 5 to receive applications.
The PCB's move has already generated plenty of debate and interest as while former Australian test batsman, Dean Jones has said he would be willing to work on part-time basis with the Pakistan team, former test captains, Zaheer Abbas and Salim Malik have also said they would like to work as the batting coach of the national team.
Misbah said in modern day cricket every team has a full support staff with them and they helped players overcome their technical problems and flaws.
"Every team has a strong support staff which is very useful for the players and if the PCB has now decided to have a batting coach it is a good move and the need of the hour," the experienced batsman, who scored a century in the latest round of the Presidents Trophy first class tournament told "Express" daily newspaper.
"Another aspect is that by distributing responsibilities the coaches with the national team would also be able to focus totally on their area of expertise," he added. MORE
