Bradburn confirmed as Pakistan’s head coach for the next two years

Bradburn served as the side’s field coach from 2018 to 2020 before moving to the National Cricket Academy in Lahore. Before that, he was Scotland’s head coach.

“It is a great honor for me to work as a head coach with the very talented and skilled side like Pakistan,” said Bradburn in a PCB release. “The New Zealand series has been valuable in getting game time and clarity on roles, culture and brand to win.

“We have raised the bar of expectation and we will continue to challenge our players. The process has begun and our players agree to face these challenges head-on. We have agreed with our players that they are capable of higher team scores , even when totals drop. There are immediate positive signs throughout this series and this group of players is determined to continuously improve, to throw ourselves into the fight to win big events.”

According to the release, the Pakistani team management has revealed a style of play that will take it approaching the 2023 ODI World Cup. The style branded as The Pakistani way will see the team approach the ODIs in the build-up and throughout the tournament with positive and bold tactics and attacking strategies.

“So how do we achieve The Pakistani way? We achieve this by winning with our own culture, our own brand of cricket and our own style. Without that culture in the team, we will not be satisfied with victories. Pakistan as a nation is proud of its identity, culture and style. I like Pakistan and Pakistani cricket; I want to leave a legacy as a director where the rest of the world says we want to play The Pakistani way.

“To achieve success on the pitch, team management will emphasize the importance of building a culture where a player’s success is enjoyed by all and creating an inclusive environment where everyone can speak up at any time and everyone is treated equally, ultimately resulting in the achievement of collective goals as a nation and team.”
