Inzamam-ul-Haq wants to offer his expertise to the Pakistan side.


Former Pakistan captain and Pakistan's second highest run scorer in tests, has offered the national team to be their full-time batting coach. Paksitan batsmen are really struggling on a tour of England, where they were all out for 182 in the first innings and 88 in the second innings. "The team definitely needs a full-time batting coach and, if any offer is made to me for this position, I will definitely give it serious consideration," Inzamam said. Paksitan's batsmen also struggled in the 2 tests against Australia where they lost by a huge margin in the first test at Lord's and barely managed to win the second test at Headingley to even the series at 1-1. Well I believe that Inzamam will really help the batting of the national team, but on the other hand Ijaz Ahmed was a great batsman himself and I think Ijaz Ahmed is a great batting coach, who can also help the team with fielding since he was a great fielder also. In my opinion, the Pakistani team don't really need a new batting coach becuase the coach's job is to let the batsmen know of the different techniques, the coaches won't go on the field and play for the batsmen, its the batsmen's job to follow the techniques and go play properly on the field which I think the Pakistani Batsmen are not doing. If we look at the bowlers of the national team, they are really following the techniques of the bowling coach Aqib Javed and their head coach Waqar Younis that's why Pakistan's bowling is so successful. So lastly it really doesn't matter who the batting coach is, it is all up to the batsmen to follow the techniques of the coaches and play properly out there.
