“I have accepted this role for a brief period after New Zealand Cricket approached me. I will only work with the team during their stay in Pakistan,” Saqlain confirmed
“I am currently in the United States and will join the NZ squad upon my return on April 12,” said the former interim Pakistan head coach.

Mushtaq will work with the Black Caps during the T20I and ODI series against Pakistan, scheduled to be played in April-May. The series includes five ODIs and as many T20Is.
Mushtaq recently served as head coach of the Pakistan team but he left the role after his contract expired in February earlier this year.
The development comes as the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is expected to appoint a new coaching staff led by Mickey Arthur — who will serve as a consultant.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
