Karachi: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has in principle decided to sign on Australian Dav Whatmore as its national team coach but will make an official announcement in a week's time.
Sources in the PCB said that after the interviews of the three prospective coaching candidates - Whatmore, Geoff Lawson and Richard Done - were conducted, Whatmore had impressed the Board and players the most.
"The decision has been made in principle and details of the contract have also been discussed with Whatmore but final details are being worked out. He is expected to be paid more than what Pakistan was paying former coach, the late Bob Woolmer," one source said.
The source said Whatmore had impressed because of his experience of working with teams in South Asia and managing their players.
Whatmore who met with the players on Saturday described them as "positive, vibrant and confident."
Whatmore, 53, said he was impressed with the new spirit and eagerness to learn in the Pakistan camp.
