Mushtaq is a "bowling consultant"

So it appears that Mushtaq Ahmed has been hired. The Pakistani team, it is felt by the PCB, needed a bowling consultant, and for that end he has been retained as a bowling consultant. Inzamam is also supporting him, so it appears that is probably the major thing in his favour.

In a statement which is neither here nor there, it appears that the PCB has called on Imran Khan, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis to assist with the national team whenever they are available. As to how they will be paid, or what their contracts will be, no one knows. Without considering candidates such as Asif Iqbal, Aaqib Javed, Sarfaraz Nawaz and the three fast bowlers, the decision to retain Mushtaq Ahmed for a long-term contract is intriguing at best. I would still like to know what Mushtaq Ahmed's credientials are to be able to coach a national team.
