Former international coaches Mickey Arthur, Dav Whatmore and Peter Moores have emerged the front-runners to replace Waqar Younis as Pakistan's national coach, according to reports in the Pakistan media.
A three-member committee, formed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is currently in the process of short-listing Waqar's possible successors.
"The PCB itself is pretty keen on having a foreign coach with a team of Pakistani assistant and specialist coaches. Arthur (South Africa), Whatmore (Australia) and Moores (England) are being eyed for now," a source was quoted as saying by PTI.
Moores, currently Lancashire's head coach, succeeded Duncan Fletcher as England's head coach in April 2007 but was removed in 2009 after a public spat with Kevin Pietersen.
Arthur coached South Africa from 2005 to 2010, and is currently coaching Western Warriors in South Africa, while Whatmore had a successful stint with Sri Lanka and also coached Bangladesh before signing up to work at the NCA in Bangalore.
