The Pakistan Cricket Board has officially opened applications for a new Fielding Coach for the Pakistan men’s national cricket team, with the recruitment advertisement publicly shared on LinkedIn.
The selected coach will be responsible for improving the fielding standards of Pakistan’s players across all formats, with a focus on fitness, catching, throwing, ground fielding, and overall athletic performance.
The recruitment comes as the PCB continues efforts to strengthen and reshape the national team’s coaching setup.
Fielding has remained an important area of focus for Pakistan, particularly as modern cricket increasingly demands high levels of athleticism and consistency on the field.
What has caught significant attention, however, is the way the vacancy was advertised. Rather than relying solely on traditional cricket networks, the PCB publicly promoted the high-profile position through LinkedIn.
The move quickly generated discussion online, with cricket fans expressing surprise at seeing a senior role within Pakistan’s national team setup advertised on a professional networking platform.
The recruitment drive highlights the PCB’s attempt to broaden its search for coaching talent while bringing greater structure and professionalism to the national team setup.
