The next major assignment of the Pakistan cricket team is the T20 World Cup which will be held in the United States and West Indies in June.

The said posts were left vacant after Mickey Arthur, Grant Bradburn and Andrew Puttick were transferred to the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Lahore after a change in their portfolios in November 2023 following a change in PCB setup.

The trio left their respective positions in January this year.
