Australian Dav Whatmore is due to arrive here on Feb 20 to sign a two-year contract as head coach of the Pakistan cricket team, Though the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is not confirming Whatmore, or anyone else, as head coach of the team, sources said Whatmore has finalised all the details of the contract and would sign it in Lahore on Feb 20. Whatmore visited Lahore on Jan 14 and almost settled all the issues with the PCB, but the announcement was delayed for one month since both the parties agreed to delay it owing to the England series under way in the UAE. Whatmore will take charge of the team from interim head coach Mohsin Khan after the ongoing series against England. However, the PCB is being criticised by some quarters for making a change at the moment when the national team is performing well under the coaching of Mohsin Khan.
