According to reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has extended an enticing offer to Shane Watson, proposing an annual salary of $2 million, equivalent to PKR 4.6 crores per month. If Watson accepts the offer, he could potentially secure the title of the highest-paid coach in Pakistan cricket history with a monthly earning exceeding PKR 4 crores.

“Not available for the whole year”

Despite the lucrative offer, Shane Watson’s commitment to a year-round presence in Pakistan remains uncertain. This hesitation has prompted discussions within the PCB about the possibility of appointing a separate coach specifically for Test cricket.

While Watson’s expertise and experience could significantly benefit Pakistan cricket across all formats, his reluctance to commit to a continuous presence in the country poses a challenge. The PCB is keen on securing a coach who can provide consistent guidance and support to the team throughout the year.
