The race for the role of head coach with the Pakistan cricket team intensified as several top foreigners applied for the position. It is reported that England’s Peter Moores, South African Mickey Arthur and Australians Dean Jones, Tom Moody and Jamie Siddons are the top candidates to have applied for the position. Here in this article, we try to dig into the past records of the front-runners in the race to becoming Pakistan&#8217;s next head coach.
