Dav Whatmore to become new Pakistan coach

Intikhab Alam reveals that Dav Whatmore will become Pakistan's new coach in March.

Dav Whatmore will become Pakistan's new coach next month, according to Intikhab Alam.

The Pakistan Cricket Board had put Alam in charge of the committee to find a replacement for Waqar Younis, who quit the role last year.

Mohsin Khan, who is expected to return to his previous role as a selector, has coached the side since Younis' departure and led Pakistan to Test wins over Sri Lanka and England at Test level.

Alam told PakPassion.net: "Dav Whatmore will arrive in early March to sign his contract.

"I can't give you the exact date yet as that has not been verified, but everything is in place for him to take over with his first assignment being the Asia Cup in Bangladesh.

"Whatmore has a proven record and I feel that his appointment will be an exciting one for the Pakistan cricket team."

During his playing career, Whatmore scored over 6,000 first class runs for Victoria.
