The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has appointed Mohammad Masroor as the fielding coach for the national team for the upcoming series against Australia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa.

Sources indicate that Masroor's appointment came on the recommendation of Jason Gillespie, who was impressed by Masroor’s coaching methods during the Pakistan Shaheens' tour of Australia. Masroor previously served as the fielding coach for the national team during the two Test matches against England.

This marks Mohammad Masroor's first full-time coaching assignment with the Pakistan national team, although he has previously worked with the Pakistan Shaheens and the Under-19 team. In 2018, he also served as an assistant to Steve Rixon during the home series against the West Indies.

Masroor is scheduled to depart for Australia with other players from Karachi tomorrow, ready to take on his new role as the team prepares for the challenging upcoming series.
