In this background, I am delighted to have been offered this exciting opportunity to work on skilful and exciting young cricketers and help them grow in their careers," Saqlain said in an official statement."I have previously worked with a diverse group of cricketers and helped them improve their cricket.

His impact was so great that he became the fastest bowler in history in terms of time (one year and 225 days) to reach the landmark of 100 ODI wickets, and to this day, no one else has got there in less than two years.Saqlain has previously worked as a spin bowling coach with Bangladesh, West Indies and England men's cricket teams, apart from serving as a consultant for PCB, Cricket Australia and New Zealand Cricket.On the other hand, Bradburn is presently the fielding coach of the Pakistan men's national team, a role he took in September 2018 following a successful coaching stint with the Scotland men's national cricket team.Bradburn will be responsible for raising the overall standard of player support personnel across all the high-performance centres of the country.The PCB will announce Bradburn's replacement in the men's national cricket team in due course.( With inputs from ANI )
