After the completion, it is possible that the extension will be made.
"After coaching at PSL, KPL, LPL and domestic level, it is a pleasure to be associated with an international team. I will try my best to help the Afghan bowlers with my experience," Umar Gul said.
Remember, former England batsman Graham Thorpe was named head coach of Afghanistan few days back.
