The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is in discussions with the legendary West Indian batsman Sir Vivian Richards to bring him on board as a mentor for the national team for the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup 2024, which will take place in the Caribbean and the United States.
According to a local media report, a senior official within the Board confirmed that talks are underway with Richards. The PCB is eager to benefit from his expertise, particularly during the West Indies portion of the tournament.
“The board is highly impressed with how Richards has performed as a mentor with the Quetta Gladiators in the Pakistan Super League. They are keen to have him mentor the Pakistan squad for the World T20,” the source revealed.
However, one major challenge in appointing Richards is his existing media commitments during the mega event.
"They are trying to find a solution because the Board is very keen on having Richards as the mentor, but he has not yet agreed to anything," the official added.
