Pakistan Women name Arshad Khan as spin bowling coach

Arshad will assume the role after his duties with Peshawar Zalmi come to an end following the Pakistan Super League play-offs

Arshad Khan has been appointed Pakistan Women's spin bowling coach on a one-year contract.

The former international, who played nine Tests and 58 ODIs, taking 88 wickets, Arshad will assume the role after his duties with Peshawar Zalmi come to an end following the Pakistan Super League play-offs.

Along with new Pakistan head coach David Hemp, he will be involved in the country's National T20 Championship.

Arshad said: "This is an excellent opportunity to be working with women cricketers alongside David Hemp as we aim to collectively lift our national team in the upper half of the women's draw.

"When I look around at a big number of former international cricketers involved in the present set-up, it motivates me to not only prove my worth but also justify the faith imposed on me.

"I now keenly look forward to looking at the available pool of women cricketers in the Women's National T20 Championship and will then work on a strategy with David on how we move forward. This will be a demanding assignment and I am up  for the challenge."
