The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has offered $2,000,000 to former Australian cricketer Shane Watson to become the highest paid coach in the history of Pakistan cricket.

According to Geo News reports, Shane Watson has been offered an annual salary of $2 million.

However, the report quoted sources close to Shane Watson claiming that he may not accept the offer because he does not want to be away from his family for a long time.

Mike Hesson and Darren Sammy are among the main candidates to coach the Pakistan Men’s Cricket Team, in case Watson refuses. Mike Hesson and Darren Sammy are currently serving as the head coaches for Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi respectively.

PCB is also mulling the possibility of appointing local coaches along with foreign consultants to fill the vacancy in time for the T20I series against New Zealand in April.

Mickey Arthur, Grant Bradburn and Andrew Puttick resigned from their respective positions in January this year.
