Sarfaraz Ahmed Set to Become Pakistan’s Test Head Coach

According to Geo News, Sarfaraz may take charge starting with the upcoming home Test series against Bangladesh in May. The position has remained vacant since the departure of the previous permanent coach.

Sarfaraz is currently working with the Pakistan Shaheens in the UAE. While Azhar Mahmood served as the interim coach during the South Africa series, the PCB is now looking for a long-term tactical lead for the 2027 World Test Championship cycle. Pakistan, currently ranked fifth in the standings, will face Bangladesh in a two-match series starting May 8.
