PCB advertises for bowling coach after Noffke’s Netherlands appointment

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has posted an advertisement seeking a bowling coach for the national men's team, just after the Netherlands Cricket Board appointed Ashley Noffke as their head coach on Wednesday. Noffke, who is presently the white-ball bowling coach for Pakistan, was given an initial two-year contract by the Royal Dutch Cricket Association (KNCB) until the end of 2028.

He is tasked with overseeing the Netherlands team during their qualification runs for the 2027 ODI and 2028 T20 World Cups. Though there were no indications prior to the Netherlands announcement that Noffke would leave his position with Pakistan, the PCB's posting of the bowling coach vacancy followed suit. Noffke is part of the Pakistani team for the upcoming Asian Games cricket competition, which will depart from Karachi on Thursday.

The PCB advertisement for the bowling coach does not specify Noffke or his departure, but it does outline the desired candidate's qualifications. The ideal coach should possess at least five years of experience in a similar role with elite cricketers or national/international teams, and hold a minimum Level III Cricket Coaching Accreditation. Applications for the bowling coach position are being accepted by the PCB until October 8.
