He replaces Aqib Javed, who had served as the interim white-ball coach after Gary Kirsten's sudden resignation in October 2024. The South African had been appointed in April 2024 for a two-year contract but opted out of the role within six months, forcing Javed to take charge. "I am pleased to announce the appointment of former New Zealand cricketer and renowned coach Mike Hesson as the white-ball head coach of the Pakistan men's team," said Naqvi through the PCB press release." Mike brings with him a wealth of international experience and a proven track record of developing competitive sides. We look forward to his expertise and leadership in shaping the future of Pakistan's white-ball cricket. Welcome to the team, Mike!"
