When does a journalist ask a question that why you selected foreign coaches when there are better local ones? Raja offendedly replied to him that these are just spare questions from you guys as if I selected local one you would say foreigns are better.
When will these coaches joining Team?
These coaches should join the team Pakistan as soon as possible. But because of this pandemic situation, they will be unable to join the team this quickly.
So Abdul Razzaq and Saqlain Mushtaq will continue their jobs for the upcoming series of Pakistan vs New Zealand. New coaches might join team Pakistan when England will visit.
