Lahore: Pakistan women’s head coach Mark Coles has resigned from his post citing family commitments and will be returning to New Zealand next week.
Mark Coles took over the responsibilities in October 2017 and had a contract until the end of the Women’s T20 World Cup to be held in Australia next year from February 21 to March 8.
“It is with a very heavy heart that I have decided to step down from my coaching role, something which I had enjoyed tremendously. However, at this time my family responsibilities are such that they need my undivided attention and focus,” Mark Coles said in a statement issued by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Meanwhile, the PCB has appointed batting coach Iqbal Imam as interim head coach for the upcoming series against Bangladesh, which will be played from October 26 to November 4 in Lahore. IANS
