Zaheer Abbas wants to become batting coach

Former Pakistan captain Zaheer Abbas has expressed his desire to become the batting coach of the national team following its inconsistent performance in the just concluded ODI series against the West Indies in the Caribbean. The ‘Asian Bradman’ said he was ready to take up the job if he gets an offer from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
“I am ready to be the batting coach and I am available but the final decision rests with the board. If they ask me, I am available,” Zaheer said. The run-machine lamented the lack of temperament and grafting skills among the younger batsmen in the Pakistan team and said while the country had produced numerous quality fast bowlers and spinners, the batting cupboard was bare.
“Barring few exceptions in the last 10-15 years, we have not produced a batsman of outstanding merit and that is a serious problem for us,” he said.
